Ingredients
- 150 grams Rice flour
- 100 grams Butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the rice flour and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with your hands until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 4
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to rest.
Step 5
Once chilled, lightly dust a clean surface and rolling pin with rice flour. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness, turning it occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a pie tin or tart pan, pressing it gently into the corners and trimming any excess.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If blind baking is required, line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with baking weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 8
Remove the weights and parchment paper if blind baking, then continue with your filling and complete baking according to your recipe.
