• Add half of cubed butter. Process until butter pieces are no bigger than peas. Add rest of butter and process again just until mixture is crumbly and butter is no bigger than rolled oats.
• With processor running, drizzle one tablespoon ice water at a time down feeder tube until water is blended into crumbly mixture. It should hold together when pinched.
• Transfer mixture to large bowl. Press mixture into one ball of dough. Note: Unlike gluten dough, rice flour dough does not toughen with increased handling. It also does not need to chill before rolling. But it can be made a day ahead, wrapped and chilled. Allow to soften slightly at room temperature before working.
• Divide dough into two pieces. Place one piece at a time between two sheets of wax or parchment paper. Roll dough to 1/8-inch (3-mm) thickness. Line 9-inch (22-cm) pie pan. Don't worry if you need to patch any breaks since it will not compromise tenderness of baked crust.
• Fill with your choice of filling (see recipe index for Gluten-Free Spiced Tourtière Meat Pie Filling, developed specifically for this pastry). Cover with top crust. Seal edges of pie. Note: This dough is not as stretchy as gluten doughs so it's best to avoid a fluted edge in favour of edge pressed with fork. Cut slits in top of pie for steam release.
• This pastry will not brown as much as much as wheat-based pastry so it's important to brush top crust with egg wash or, if you prefer an egg-free recipe, cream or milk before baking to attain a golden finish.
• This gluten-free pastry is ideally suited to baking at 350 F (180 C) for 1 hour. Makes one 9-inch (22- cm) double crust pie pastry.

Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and knead until the pastry holds together. Form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and firm, about 1 hour.
• Cut ball in half; place each half on separate sheets of parchment paper. Flatten with your hand and cover with a second piece of parchment. Roll into 1/8-inch-thick crusts, flipping once, using a rolling pin. Peel off the top sheet of parchment. Fold 1 crust in half. Fold again into quarters; transfer to a pie plate. Unfold and fit into plate; peel off second layer of parchment.

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut the butter into small chunks (about 1/2" thick) and add to dry ingredients. Work it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your finger tips, mashing until the butter has crumbled into pea-size pieces.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the egg and apple cider vinegar into the well, and use a fork to stir gently, outwards from the center. Once all the ingredients are incorporated, drizzle the ice-cold water into the mixture very slowly, just a little at a time. Only add water until the mixture has become a cohesive ball of dough that's just moist enough to handle without being wet.
• Place ball between two large pieces of parchment paper. Using hands or rolling pin, gently push the dough outward, equally in all directions, until it is a pie-sized thick, even disc of dough. Leave between parchment paper layers and seal well in plastic wrap or ziploc bag. Refrigerate for at least two hours. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
• Leaving the dough in between two parchment paper layers, roll it out gently, as thin as you can. When the dough is between 1/4" and 1/3" thick, remove the top layer of parchment and even out the edges of the crust. Place a pie pan with the top side down over the dough (centered) and then carefully flip paper, dough and pan over so that the dough drapes into the pan. Carefully peel away parchment. Use your fingers to make sure the dough touches all the corners of the pan. If any holes have already formed at this point, mend them with a finger or pastry brush dampened in egg white or water, or with excess dough.
• Use in your favorite pie recipes, or roll out for use in a galette or other pastry. You can prebake this crust if you like, but it doesn't require prebaking.
