Looking for a delightful flaky crust that fits your keto lifestyle? This Flaky Keto Pie Crust is just what you need for all your favorite sweet and savory pies! #KetoRecipes #LowCarb #BakingAtHome #HealthyEating #PieLove **Ingredients:** - 1 1⁄2 cups almond flour - 1⁄2 cup coconut flour - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon xanthan gum - 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed - 1 large egg - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar - 2 to 4 tablespoons cold water **Directions:** 1. Let’s kick things off by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Toss in the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and xanthan gum. Give it a good mix to ensure everything is well blended. 2. Next up, add those cold, cubed butter pieces into the flour mixture. You can either use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend it in, breaking up the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Yum! 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and apple cider vinegar until frothy. 4. Now, pour that egg mixture into your flour blend, and stir it all together until it starts to come together. 5. It’s time to add some cold water! Gradually mix in 2 to 4 tablespoons, one at a time, until the dough is cohesive but not sticky. 6. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it up in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This is where the magic happens! 7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you wait. 8. Take that chilled dough and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s the perfect size for your pie dish. 9. Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish, trim any excess hanging over the edges, and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling – trust me, your future pie will thank you! 10. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until it’s lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool before you fill it with your favorite goodies! **Nutritional Facts** (per serving): - Calories: 180 - Protein: 4g - Fat: 16g - Carbohydrates: 5g - Fiber: 3g - Net Carbs: 2g **Serving Size:** One slice of pie (assuming 8 slices from one pie).

Dinosaurs roamed Earth for an astonishingly long time — over 170 million years, not just 120 as often simplified. From their emergence during the Late Triassic period about 230 million years ago, they evolved into a vast array of forms before their extinction 66 million years ago. Among them, Stegosaurus, with its distinctive plates and tail spikes, lived around 155–150 million years ago in the Late Jurassic. In contrast, Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most iconic dinosaurs, lived much later during the Late Cretaceous, around 68–66 million years ago. This means Stegosaurus had already been extinct for approximately 80 million years before T. rex ever walked the Earth. To put that into perspective: the time separating Stegosaurus and T. rex is greater than the time between T. rex and humans. This reveals the immense timescale of dinosaur evolution — they were not all living at once, as commonly portrayed in popular media.
