Pastry Recipe for Pie Crust - Gluten Free image

Posted on behalf of Yahoo Group SillyYaks. This is the BEST pie crust I have ever made, even pre-gf! It is gluten free, and dairy free and can be made soy free as well.It is not crumbly, but it rolls out best between sheets of parchment paper. It has a wonderful taste and holds it shape well. I've used it to make whole pies and even turn-over style individual pies. --Mariann [my version of a recipe from the AiA Gluten & Dairy Free Cookbook.]

Time 22m

Yield 1 pie crust, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
4 ounces margarine (see below***)
1 large egg, beaten (or use 1/4 cup extra ice water if allergic to eggs)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or water if you can't use vinegar)
3 tablespoons ice cold water

Steps:

  • *Mix flours, salt, and xanthan gum in a bowl. Rub in the margarine,but not too much. The mixture should resemble baked beans rather than breadcrumbs.
  • *In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and ice water.
  • Slowly stir the egg mix into the flour mix, until a ball is formed.
  • *Knead the pastry (with a little gf flour if needed) for 2-3 minutes.
  • Wrap the pastry and place in the fridge for at least an hour. **It can be frozen at this stage.
  • *If the pastry is a little hard when removed from the fridge, knead again a little bit.
  • *Roll out on a floured surface. Place in pie pan and follow baking instructions for your pie recipe.
  • *If cooked pastry is needed for your recipe the pastry can be cooked at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  • ***substitute Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening to make it soy free. This is a non-hydrogenated, trans fat free vegetable shortening made from palm oil.
