Gluten Free Pie Crust

Here it is.


YIELD: 1 double crust or 2 single pies


INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 cups rice flour
1 1/4 cups corn starch
2 tsp guar gum*
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup margarine
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 ice cube
1/3 cup cold water
2 tsp cider vinegar


DIRECTIONS:

Mix flax seed in with water, cider and ice cube, set aside.

Sift the dry ingredients together twice.

Cut in butter till it's well mixed. Mix liquid well and slowly add liquid to the dry, mix til just blended, using just as much of the water mixture as needed.

Using your hands ball up the dough and split into two. Place each piece onto some plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate for a least a hour. Let sit out for 10 minutes, place between two pieces of wax paper to roll out (one to an inch larger than the pan)

For raw crusts, place ingredients into crust, cover with second and pinch then bake according to the recipes instructions.

I'll add the baked crust instructions soon.

  1. I have since tried the recipe twice and messed with the ingredients both times. They both flopped. I don't know what it is about this one but stick to the plan here.

    Oh and I hardly ever use all the water.
