I can't have wheat or any other gluten containing grain. I find that commercial gluten free products swap the wheat flour for rice flour, I can't eat that either.
I love things like sausage rolls, pasties etc so have been missing those comforting kind of pastry foods until I found this. I thought it was probably going to taste awful and not be anything like pastry but how wrong was I !
I know the colour is strange but if you can get your head round that, you'll find the texture and taste is so much like a pastry
So easy!
1 cup of shelled pumpkin seeds ground into a flour (I used my electric cofee grinder to do this)
1 egg
That is all you need. Mix together, it will be very sticky at first but keep kneading it and it will become elastic, you may want to ad a little more pumpkin flour depending on the size of egg you use but it will go into a ball of dough if you work it.
Roll out with a pastry roller just like dough and cut into the shape you want for a pie or sausage rolls add your filling and bake on a moderate oven for approx 20 mins or about 10 if small pastries.
