Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Ice water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the beaten egg to the mixture and stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add one tablespoon of ice water at a time to the dough mixture, stirring gently after each addition. Continue until the dough starts to come together and holds its shape when pressed. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

Step 6

Once chilled, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and flute the edges, if desired.

Step 8

Your wheat-free pie crust is now ready to be baked or filled with your choice of filling. Follow the recipe for your specific pie to determine baking instructions.
