Hello everyone, hope you have a great start of the week and for those in America: Happy Columbus Day!๐ค
Today I made Empanadas that filled with mashed beets and green lentils, served with Spring mixed and homemade pesto sauce.๐
As anything, it takes practice through trials and errors, I figured out how to make pastry/pie crust now. ๐
I used 1.5 cup of gluten free quinoa and flaxseed all purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 3/4 cup of small cubes cold vegan butter, 1 tbsp flaxseed egg and add little by little of ice cold water until the dough has wet sand texture. Do not kneed but clump the dough together with hands. Let the dough sit in the fridge for at least 30 mins and roll it out. ๐๐
These empanadas and small pie came out perfect, flaky and non-drying. All ready to enjoy with Spring mix salad and pesto sauce mixed with red wine vinegar for a perfect lunch and dinner. ๐๐
As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! ๐โค๏ธ

I made 6 empanadas, ate one for taste test ๐ and a small pie to practice pie crust baking with the same beets and green lentils filling. ๐๐
Awe thank you very much Debs for saying that, youโre too kind!๐ค๐
Definite vegan butter makes a difference than milk and oil like last time I made. I am very pleased that I could put check box on pie crust baking.โ ๐๐
Itโs a nice relaxing day a bit chilly but not too bad over here. Hope you have a great day ahead!๐
I will try that next time my self - thank you for the tip, it does look like you have mastered it thats for sure. Glad you had a nice relaxing day ๐
Awe thank you Debs, we are all sharing here among friends as I learned flaxseed egg from you. I didnโt know that before just relying on Just egg premixed liquid bottle or Bob Miller egg replacement only. ๐๐
Itโs nice to be able to make pie and pastry now that the holidays coming around I can bring homemade goodies to friends and family. ๐
Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening as well. ๐ค
You're mastering GF vegan baking so quickly๐. Your empanadas look perfect๐. Now you can create all the varieties of pie/pastry you want. Have a good day and thanks for sharing ๐ค๐.
Awe thank you Byron2020 very much for saying that, much appreciated! ๐ค๐It was definitely a nice sit back day to enjoy the homemade food and watched my favorite show. It was very windy day yesterday so staying indoors was perfect. ๐
I hope you had a great dinner and a restful night coming up! ๐
Awe thank you very much Happyman4 for saying that! ๐ค๐
Iโm very pleased with the result because i had hard time baking gluten free vegan pie crust before many fails. ๐ It pays off to practice and be able to have homemade pie, pastries because we can bake whichever fillings we want in at anytime. ๐๐
Yes, Itโs October pumpkin season here for us and by making your mumโs pumpkin pie will bring back great memories so as the enjoyment for the whole family. ๐๐ค
