Now, let me start out by saying I'm VERY much a novice when it comes to baking. When I tried to transfer this crust into the pan, it wouldn't come free of the wax paper. I ended up using a filet knife to get it off in chunks and pressed it piece by piece into the pan. I did use extra tapicoa flour, but maybe not enough. HOWEVER, it came out FANTASTIC - no one could tell it was gluten-free. I will subject myself to it again. :^) Used for vegan pumpkin pie.
