Introduction

This is probably the best pie crust I've ever made. It's tricky to work with because it's stickier than wheat pie crust, but well worth the extra effort!

Ingredients

    Here the recipe is doubled to make 2 pies, but the calorie calculations are based for 8 servings out of one pie bottom.

    3/4 cup + 2 Tbs Tapioca flour
    3/4 cup Cornstarch
    1/4 cup + 2 Tbs Brown rice flour (plus more for dusting)
    1/4 cup Sorghum flour
    2 Tbs Sugar
    1/2 tsp Salt
    1 1/2 tsp Guar Gum
    1 cup salted butter
    3 large eggs

Directions

cube the butter into quarter inch sized bits and after combining all the dry elements mix the butter in with your fingers until well blended. Tenderly beat the eggs, do not over beat. Add to the dry mix and hand mix with a wooden spoon until well blended.
Divide into 2 equal portions, put into small bowls and refrigerate for 2 hours, or up to 2 days.

After dough has set roll out on dusted parchment paper. Gluten free dough is stickier than wheat dough and you'll need the parchment paper to lift it off the counter. Don't over work the crust. Roll quickly and put it in a pre-buttered pie tin. Shape the rim with your fingers and brush the rim with fresh milk, sprinkle with sugar if you like. I leave mine plain.

Now your crust is ready for a filling! ENJOY!
