Instructions

Combine oat flour, arrowroot powder, almond flour, coconut palm sugar, sea salt, and baking powder in a bowl or food processor until well mixed.
Cut in butter with a pastry knife or pulse in the processor only until butter pieces are about the size of peas.
Mix in by hand or pulse beaten eggs and cream cheese in processor just until dough begins to hold together. Press dough out into a disc with your hands on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover or wrap to refrigerate for 1 hour or for up to 3 days if making in advance.
Remove from fridge, allow to sit for 10 minutes to soften a little before rolling. Roll out and bake according to final recipe.

Notes

Yield: Enough crust to cover 9x11 baking dish with extra for decorating

TIP: It's important to start with very cold or frozen butter and to chill the dough before rolling out.
