Low Or No Gluten Crust Recipe - Any Ideas?

[Mosaic]

Does anyone have a tried and tested recipe for low gluten or gluten free pastry? I'd like to experiment with soy flour - I've found American recipes which have that 'cup' measurement (boo) and also seem to include large amounts of butter and cream.....trying to avoid animal fats too....

My baking skills are not the best but I doubt you can cut out all you want to and still get a pastry.

Found this one.

A bit off subject, but you could try this recipe for quiche from one of the slimming clubs.
3 eggs
I tub low fat cottage cheese (natural)
Mixed herbs and seasoning
Filling of chopped ham/peppers/bacon/onions or whatever you fancy
Beat the eggs and mix with the cottage cheese. Put the mixture and filling in a flan dish and bake for 30 mins 190c/ gas mark 5.
It's very tasty hot or cold and low in fat.

Here's a Paleo site with gluten free recipes. They use almond or coconut flours,and vegetable fats. Some do not use eggs also.
