Recipe View If the dough seems too dry and crumbly, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together and forms a ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough. (1 minute)

Recipe View Divide the dough in half. Flatten each half into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Dust the top of the dough and your rolling pin with more arrowroot starch. Gently roll out the dough into a 9-inch circle, about ⅛-inch thick. If the dough sticks, gently lift it and add more arrowroot starch underneath. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat with the remaining dough disc. Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. (5 minutes)

Use very cold ingredients! This is crucial for a flaky crust. Place the butter and eggs in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before starting.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking develops gluten, which we don't want in a gluten-free crust. Handle the dough as little as possible.
If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
For a blind-baked crust, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper and pie weights before baking.
This crust can also be used for tarts or other pastry applications.

    I was skeptical, but this recipe is a game-changer. My family couldn't even tell it was gluten-free!

    The trick of freezing the butter and eggs is genius! My crust turned out perfectly.

    I added a pinch of salt to the dough, and it really enhanced the flavor.
