I grew up with home cooked food, my fondest memories are of my family gathered together for the Holidays, and everyone brought their favorite signature dish. I helped my mom bake many pumpkin pies during the Holidays, then delivered them to friends, neighbors, and family. I would love to share my favorite Pumpkin Pie recipe and Gluten Free Pie Crust version of this time-honored recipe.
Enjoy!

1/8 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
3 Tablespoons Butter (soft or melted) OR dairy-free alternative

– Mix the butter OR dairy-free alternative and honey into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, till a moist dough forms.
