Wheat Free Pie Crust Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 400 F. Have an 8-inch pie pan at the ready.
• In a medium bowl, cut the shortening or butter into the gluten-free flour until crumbly.
• Add the cold water and use your hands to work the dough until soft. The mixture will be crumbly at first but will slowly come together. Do not overmix.
• Form the dough into a single ball.
• Place the dough in an 8-inch pie pan and press it into the bottom and sides. You can use the back of a spoon, a fork, or even your fingers. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough , line the pan with the rolled-out dough and crimp the edges.
• Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust a few times. This allows steam to escape as needed and helps to ensure that your pie will bake evenly and smoothly.
• Place your prepared pie crust in the heated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the pie crust are golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding pie filling.

Steps:

• Combine arrowroot starch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, and sugar in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter to flour mixture and pulse until mixture is the consistency of oatmeal.
• Transfer flour-butter mixture to a bowl; add eggs and vinegar. Knead mixture just until blended. Mix water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into dough (if dough is too dry) until dough holds together. Split dough into 2 balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface and sprinkle with arrowroot starch. Place 1 dough ball on the plastic wrap and flatten using your hands. Dust rolling pin with arrowroot starch and roll over dough until even thickness and about 9 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough.
