Flaky/Chewy Rustic Almond Pie CRUST

Ingredients:
2 C raw almond
1 T ground flax seed
3(+) T water

Directions:
(Crust needs to pre-baked 20 minutes, then baked again with the filling)

* Preheat oven to 350° F.
* Mix ground flax and water, put it aside for 10 minutes.
* Pulse-blenderize almonds (not too long & in small batches to avoid nut-butter)
* Knead together almond & flax mixture. Add more water to dough, if needed.
* Press/roll dough between two sheets of wax paper to form disc.
* Press it into pie plate.
* Dock the crust (poke it all over with a fork).
* Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges of the crust are golden.

Now you may add filling & continue baking process w/ edges covered (if they brown too much).

COMMENT: Smoother crust consistency if you use almond FLOUR.
