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.

• 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.
