    Instructions

    First you are going to make your dough:

    • Place your flours, husk, and salt into a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds to mix together.
    • Dice your butter into chunks or cubes and add those to the mix.
    • Pulse around 10 times for 1 second each. You want the butter to be the size of peas.
    • Add your water now as you pulse a few more times. Add a tablespoon at a time. Once it comes together as a dough, remove it from the food processor and cover in plastic wrap or an eco-friendly alternative. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
    • Once you remove dough from the fridge, allow it to sit for a minute so it can warm up and you can more easily roll it out.
    • Set your oven to 400°F or 200°C
    • Sprinkle some brown rice flour on top so the rolling pin does not stick.
    • Once it is rolled out to the thickness you like, use your cookie cutter. Take the dough and place the circle in the muffin tin.
    • Once you have done this for the whole tin, place the filling inside.
    • Roll out the remainder of the dough and cut your tops for the pies. You can use a star shape cutter if you wish, or a circle, whatever you like.
    • Now, this is where the optional egg comes into play. I think it is best to use it but you don't have to. I egg-wash the edges of the tops so it will help them stick to the bottom.
    • Once the tops are all on, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and place in the oven.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow them to cool in the tins. Then remove and enjoy.
