Servings 2 8-10" pie crusts

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups Krusteaz Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar (omit sugar for quiches and savory pie crusts)
  • 1 cup Cold Butter (cut in slices - I use salted butter)
  • 8-10 Tbsp Ice Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven to 350.
  • In food processor, blend flour, sugar and salt.
  • Cut butter in 1 tbsp sections. Add to food processor 2-3 tablespoons at a time.
  • Add ice-cold water 1 Tablespoon at a time. The amount of water will vary depending on humidity, but will generally take 8-10 Tbsp.
  • Divide dough into 2 flattened balls. Place each ball onto waxed paper and cover. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle gluten-free flour over flattened ball and place another piece of waxed paper on top of dough. Roll into circle about 1/8 of an inch thick. While rolling, I usually flip over and add a little more flour to prevent sticking. Remove top sheet of waxed paper, and flip into pie pan.
  • Pierce bottom of crust with fork and add pie weights - I add parchment paper and pinto beans.
  • For a pie that will require baking - bake empty crust 20 minutes. If you are making a pie that will not require baking - bake empty pie crust 30 mins.
  • Fill and bake (or fill and refrigerate).
