How to Make Besan Chickpea Flour Pastry
- Combine 1 ½ cups besan chickpea flour and ½ teaspoon salt in a food processor.
- With the food processor running, gradually add ¼ cup olive oil until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- With the food processor running, slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a slightly sticky, malleable dough forms (about 4-6 tablespoons).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently roll out to your desired thickness.
- **To bake a blind crust:** Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or rice.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely before adding your favorite filling.
