• Cut Mixture in Half and roll into 2 balls (one for each crust or topping).
• Shape dough balls into disc with floured hands and place onto a sheet of floured parchment or wax paper.
• Cover with an additional sheet of parchment or wax paper. Roll crust out to slightly larger than your pie tin.
• Remove top parchment/wax paper and Slip hand gently under the bottom paper to flip into pie tin... carefully peeling back the paper as you press it into the pan. Don't worry if it breaks apart a little, you can always press it together and it will look great!

• Follow the pie recipe you are using for bake time and temperature.

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 400 F. Have an 8-inch pie pan at the ready.
• In a medium bowl, cut the shortening or butter into the gluten-free flour until crumbly.
• Add the cold water and use your hands to work the dough until soft. The mixture will be crumbly at first but will slowly come together. Do not overmix.
• Form the dough into a single ball.
• Place the dough in an 8-inch pie pan and press it into the bottom and sides. You can use the back of a spoon, a fork, or even your fingers. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough , line the pan with the rolled-out dough and crimp the edges.
• Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust a few times. This allows steam to escape as needed and helps to ensure that your pie will bake evenly and smoothly.
• Place your prepared pie crust in the heated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the pie crust are golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding pie filling.

EASY AS PIE CRUST (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• 1. Combine flour and salt, then cut in the margarine using a pastry blender until you are left with a course meal. (I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer).
• 2. Sprinkle the milk, one tablespoon at a time while blending, until all ingredients are moist. At this point I prepared my pie ingredients and I put the pie dough in the fridge in a plastic bag to firm up.
• 3. Using wax paper, place dough onto one sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand, then place another sheet on top and roll to desired size.
• 4. Remove the top sheet and invert onto the pie pan. If you make two pie crusts, use the same method to roll out the top crust. Just place it over the filling. I went a step further and beat an egg and brushed the crust with egg and then sprinkled it with some xylitol for a crunchy crust. Of course if you're making a savory pie, don't sprinkle the top crust with sugar.
• 5. To Bake one pie crust:- Bake at 400'F for 15-20 minutes. For a two crust pie with filling:-Bake at 400'F for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 350'F for an additional 40 minutes.
• 6. This make one pie crust that will fit an 8 to 10 inch pie pan. Serves 10-12.
• 7. Enjoy!

• Sprinkle cold milk, one tablespoon at a time, while blending until all ingredients are moist.
• Using wax pater, place dough onto one sheet, flatten with palm, place another sheet on top and roll out to the desired size. Remove the top sheet and invert into pie pan.
• To bake the pie crust alone, bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes. With pie filling, bake at 400 F for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350 F for an additional 40 minutes or according to pie recipe instructions.

EXTRA FLAKY GLUTEN FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt, and whisk to combine well. Add the chopped and chilled butter, and toss to coat it in the dry ingredients.
• Flatten each chunk of butter between your thumb and forefinger. Add the sour cream, and mix to moisten the dry ingredients with the sour cream. The dough should be shaggy and somewhat crumbly.
• Knead the dough together with clean hands until it begins to come together. Add ice water by the teaspoon only if necessary for the dough to hold together.
• Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, and press into a disk as you close the plastic wrap around the dough. It will still seem rough. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch metal pie plate generously and set aside.
• Once the dough has chilled, turn it out onto a lightly floured piece of unbleached parchment paper. Sprinkle the dough lightly with more flour, and roll it out into a rectangle that is about 1 inch thick, moving the dough frequently and sprinkling it lightly with flour if it begins to stick.
• Fold the dough over on itself like you would a business letter. Sprinkle the dough again lightly with flour, and roll out the dough once again into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
• Twice more, remove the top piece of parchment paper, sprinkle lightly with flour, and fold the dough over on itself like you would a business letter.
• Roll out the dough into an approximately 12-inch round, about 3/8-inch thick. Roll the pie crust loosely onto the rolling pin and then unroll it over the prepared pie plate.
• Trim the roughest edges of the crust with kitchen shears. Lift up the edges of the pie crust gently to create slack in the crust, and place the crust into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
• Tuck the excess pie crust under itself, and crimp the edge gently all the way around the crust by pinching the dough at regular intervals with one hand, and creating a crimped impression with the forefinger of the other hand. Cover the pie crust with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (and up to 3 days).
• Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and unwrap and discard the plastic. Pierce the bottom of the pie crust all over with the tines of a fork.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the raw crust and cover the bottom of the crust with pie weights or dried beans.
• Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until the crust is lightly golden brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pie weights and parchment and allow the crust to cool before proceeding with your recipe.
