For an extra flaky crust, ensure all ingredients are as cold as possible. You can even chill the gluten-free flour blend before starting. Don't overwork the dough! The key to a tender gluten-free crust is to handle it gently and avoid excessive mixing. If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up. Experiment with different gluten-free flour blends to find your favorite combination. A blend with xanthan gum is recommended for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Butter: 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 the bag and place in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
02
StepPrepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and apple cider vinegar until combined. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to keep cold.
03
StepCombine Ingredients: Pour the gluten-free flour blend into a large bowl. Add the cold, flour-coated butter cubes. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse pebbles with some larger chunks of butter remaining. Stir in the egg and vinegar mixture.
04
StepHydrate the Dough: Gradually mix in the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and begins to form a ball.
05
StepChill the Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
06
StepRoll and Prepare: Divide the dough into two equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece to your desired thickness.
07
StepBake: Fill and bake as directed in your specific pie recipe.
