Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, ice water, and apple cider vinegar. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the dough comes together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together into a smooth ball. Flatten the ball into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
4. When you are ready to use the dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to the desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges as needed. Fill the pie with your desired filling and bake according to your recipe's instructions.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is very cold before starting. This will help keep the dough flaky.
- If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
- To make a savory pie crust, omit the sugar and add 1 teaspoon of dried herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the flour mixture.
