How Do You Make Gluten Free Pie Crust?

To make the Gluten Free Butter Pie crust recipe:

Step 1: Start by cutting the cold butter into the flour, starch and sugar. Mix it until well combined. (I use my hands and squish the butter and flour together until a crumbly mixture forms) The add the egg yolk, milk and vinegar. Then mix until a firm dough forms. I like to press it into the bottom of the bowl and sort ofknead it like bread dough. It will take a few minutes and seems too dry at first but just keep mixing it.

Step 2: Place the dough in a disc shape, wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for 1/2 –1 hour.

Step 3: On a lightly rice floured piece of parchment paper on your counter, roll out the dough until it’s big enough to cover your pie pan. If the dough breaks or cracks just press it back together with your fingers.

Step 4: Flip the rolled out crust into the pie pan thentrim the edges. Usea fork and poke some holesinto the bottom of the crust. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes, then fill with the gluten free pie filling.

If you need a gluten free pie recipe, I’ve got you covered. Here’s my two of my absolute favourite Gluten Free Pie Recipes. The first is the classic Gluten Free Pumpkin Pieand the second is a tasty Gluten Free Cookie Crumble Apple Pie.

Recipe Notesfor making the Best Gluten Free Pie Crust:

– ThisGluten Free Butter Pie Crust can made and rolled out ahead of time. I roll it out really thin on the parchment paper, then cover it with plastic wrap. Then I roll it up and put it in the fridge until needed. This makes making pie on the big day so much easier. Just unroll, place in a pie pan, fill with filling and bake.

– Pie crust can be a little challenging to make but if you take your time and keep mixing it, a lovely dough ball will form. When I’m rolling the dough out, I press the sides back inas I go. I will do a few rolls with the rolling pin, then press it all tightly back together again. Then a few more rolls, and so on.

– A trick that I found very helpful to get the crust really thin, is to use a piece of parchment paper or a thin plastic mat to roll it out on. It makes it much easier to get the crust really thin and helps when you flip the crust into the pan .

– Another key trick to getting a perfect Gluten Free Butter Pie Crust every time, is to cover the edges with tinfoil while baking. This keeps the crust from getting to dry. One more important factor in making great Pie Crust is keeping the dough cold. Placing the dough in the fridge for an hour before rolling it out and again for 10 minutes before the filling goes into it, helps keep the crust nice and flaky but not too dry.

– I use rice flour in most of my recipes is because its so inexpensive. You can find it for $1.00 a bag at Asian Supermarkets or in the import sections at Larger Grocery Stores. It’s also very versatile and doesn’t have a weird after taste like a lot of other gluten free flours do.
