Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Cup For Cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-3 tbsp ice water
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the Cup For Cup gluten-free flour and salt.
2. Add the chilled and cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Add this mixture to the flour and butter mixture and stir until the dough begins to come together.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute or two until it comes together into a ball.
5. Flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
6. When you are ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
8. Place the rolled out dough into a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges as needed.
9. Fill the pie crust with your desired filling and bake according to the recipe instructions.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is cold when you cut it into the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky crust.
- Use a light touch when kneading the dough to avoid overworking it.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more ice water. If it is too wet, add a little more flour.
