Gluten-free pie crust
- 1 ¼ cups gluten free all purpose flour
- ¼ cup arrowroot starch
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup butter, frozen (dairy free works was well)
- 1 tablespoons buttermilk (dairy free works was well)
- ½ egg, beaten
- ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons ice water
Preheat oven to 400°
In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the eggs lightly
Gently stir in remaining ingredients waiting to add milk until the end and stir until combined
Pour into an unbaked pie crust and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees
Reduce heat to 350 degrees then bake until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees (roughly 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean) make sure internal temperature does not exceed 180 degrees.
Remove and set on a wire rack until cooled to room temperature before slicing
Gluten free pie crust
Mix dry ingredients together in a stand mixer then grate in frozen butter
Add egg, buttermilk, vinegar and mix together
Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together and is nice and smooth
Place plastic wrap on the counter and add the dough and dust with gluten free rice flour or gluten free all purpose flour then roll out the dough in circular motions until you get a circle the size of your pie pan
Place your pie pan upside down over top and invert the crust from under the plastic wrap and reposition as needed
Top tip: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the pie for extra yumminess.
