NEVER-FAIL GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Place brown rice flour in a resealable plastic bag. Add butter to the bag one cube at a time, shaking to coat each cube evenly with flour. Seal bag and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Whisk eggs and vinegar together in a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator.
• Pour gluten-free flour into a large bowl. Cut in butter with your fingers until mixture resembles pebbles with some large lumps of butter remaining. Stir in egg and vinegar mixture. Mix in water one tablespoon at a time until dough is no longer sticky and forms a ball.
• Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Divide dough into 2 pieces and roll out to desired thickness on a lightly floured work surface.

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Combine arrowroot starch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, and sugar in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter to flour mixture and pulse until mixture is the consistency of oatmeal.
• Transfer flour-butter mixture to a bowl; add eggs and vinegar. Knead mixture just until blended. Mix water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into dough (if dough is too dry) until dough holds together. Split dough into 2 balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface and sprinkle with arrowroot starch. Place 1 dough ball on the plastic wrap and flatten using your hands. Dust rolling pin with arrowroot starch and roll over dough until even thickness and about 9 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough.

RICE FLOUR PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Set aside a 9" pie pan. In a medium bowl, beat egg and butter or margarine. In another bowl, sift the rice flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add to egg mixture. Stir; the dough will be soft. Handle carefully. Place dough on a rice-floured surface. Sprinkle rice flour over rolling pin. Roll out a little larger than a 9" pie plate. Cut pastry into 6 pieces. Use a large spatula and carefully slip one piece at a time onto the pie plate. Repeat until all pieces have been used and edges line up. Seal edges with fingertips. It will look as neat and hold together as well as any other flour crust. Bake for 20 mins. or until golden brown.

BEST ALL-PURPOSE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• To make by hand, combine the flour, salt, and sugar, if using, in a large bowl. Work the butter into the flour with a knife, pastry cutter, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle the ice water onto the crumbly dough and, with your hands, push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together. Transfer to a work surface. Cut the dough in half, place half on top of the other, and press down. Repeat the cutting and pressing steps three or four times until all of the water is incorporated into the dough and it clings together.
• On a floured surface, gently flatten the ball of dough with a rolling pin. Starting from the center, roll the dough into a circle about an inch larger than the diameter of the pie pan. Lift the dough into the pan. Fold the edges under and crimp with your fingers or a fork.
• To make in a food processor, cut the butter into 1inch pieces and place them in the bowl of the food processor. Add the flour, salt, and sugar. Process until all of the ingredients are incorporated. With the processor on, add the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough begins to clump but is still crumbly. Continue to drizzle a little water and pulse the food processor, stopping to test the dough with your fingertips to see if it is moist enough to hold together.
• When you can gather the dough into a ball, remove it from the processor, place it on a lightly floured surface, and roll out and fit into the pan as above.

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Thoroughly soak and scrub all your equipment and work surfaces to remove any trace of wheat flour. Be sure to clean underneath the blade mechanism in the food processor and in between the grooves of any tools to free any crusty debris.
• 2. Grind the flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or spice mill. Add the flax with all three flours, the sugar, and salt in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.
• 3. Remove the lid for the processor's work bowl and sprinkle the butter across the top. Pulse until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 4. Pulse in the egg white, and then add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
• 5. Remove the dough from the work bowl (it will be crumbly at this point) and gently knead it on a work surface or parchment paper lightly dusted with millet flour.
• 6. Remove one third of the dough so that you have two pieces. Wrap both pieces of dough in plastic film and chill them in the refrigerator for 60 minutes or up to 3 days before using. If you are not making a double-crust pie, hold the smaller disk in the freezer for another use.
• 7. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the larger disk of dough between two sheets of parchment lightly dusted with millet flour and roll it into a round 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
• 8. Gently fit the rolled dough into a 9- to 10-inch pie pan, then crimp and shape the edges. Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, if you are making a double-crust pie, roll out the other piece of dough between two sheets of parchment to a round approximately 10 inches across. Set it aside, keeping it between the parchment sheets to prevent it from drying out.
• 9. Dock the bottom crust and weight it with a circle of parchment paper cut to size and a disposable pie pan resting gently above the crust to prevent it from puffing up while toasting. If your filling will be baked, blind bake the crust for 5 to 7 minutes. If you'll be using the crust for a custard pie where baking isn't required, blind bake it for 12 to 15 minutes-checking often after 10 minutes.
• 10. Set the blind-baked crust aside to cool while you prepare the filling of your choice. Top and finish the pie as desired or as directed in your recipe
