There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Oat Flour Pie Crust

https://www.flocondavoine.com/recette-de-pate-sablee-vegan-sans-beurre-et-sans-farine-de-ble/

This is very experimental. Without trying it first, I've gone from the original and substituted oil for butter, cornstarch for arrowroot and added sugar for a sweet crust. I've also played around with ratios, so we'll see! I want a crumbly sweet crust.
1 - While making, it seemed like there was way too little moisture to make a cohesive ball of dough. I ended up using about 10 Tbsps (maybe more?) of water. Wonder how that will affect the dough.

9.5 oz oat flour
1.5 oz arrowroot flour or cornstarch
1 oz sugar
Scant 1/3 cup butter
3-4 Tbsps water
  1. Mix everything together and form into a disc.
  2. Wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  3. Pre-heat oven to 350F and blind-bake for 30 minutes.
  4. Allow to cool completely before adding anything to the crust.
  5. You MUST brush the inside of the crust with melted butter or oil to seal it against wet ingredients, otherwise you'll just have a lot of mush and no crust at all.


300g de farine d’avoine
40g de maizena
8cl d’huile d’olive
