Gluten-free quiche post #1: Elana's Gluten-free pie crust recipe

Ok, I promised some people that I'd post my gluten-free (and low glycemic) quiche adventure. We'll start with the pie crust. This is the recipe I'm using as the crust for all of the recipes I post. It's from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook
