Flaky Pie Crust (Gluten-Free)
Equipment
- Silicone Spatula
- Ziploc Bag
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups 1 for 1 gluten-free all purpose flour We use Bob’s Red Mill.
- 2 cups cold unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 - 1 cup ice-cold water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
- Take butter out of the refrigerator and cube. Add one stick at a time to the bowl of flour gently coating with the flour before adding the next stick.
- Using a pastry blender (pictured above) cut the butter into the flour mixture. There is a lot of butter so this might take time and you might have to take turns doing this. The important thing is you do not use your hands to break the butter up, they are too warm and will melt the butter to early. You want to butter to pea sized and evenly incorporated into the flour before moving on.
- Add eggs, apple cider vinegar and ice-cold water to mixture. Mix as much as you can with a silicone spatula. You want it roughly mixed and basically sticking together. You will have to finish with your hands, just don’t over work and melt the butter.
- Place all pie dough into a gallon Ziploc bag and squeeze together. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove Pie dough onto parchment lined work area. Press together into a flat circle and separate into 4 different sections. Each section makes one pie crust. Form each section into a 1-inch thick circle and wrap in cling wrap and store in a Ziploc bag. You can store in refrigerator for a few days or the freezer for a few months.
- Use Pie Crust to make sweet pies, savory pot pies or delicious hand pies. You will follow the cooking instructions for whatever pie you are making.
