Gluten Free Pie Crust!

It's that time of year!  Are you ready for Pecan Pie?  Pumpkin Pie?  Apple Pie?  YUMMY!!!



1 Cup white rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
1 large egg beaten
1 Tablespoon apple cider or white vinegar
3 Tablespoons ice water or as needed

Combine rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour & salt in medium bowl.  Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly.  Form well in center.  Add egg & vinegar: stir gently with a fork until just blended.  Sprinkle with water: blend together with a fork and clean hands until mixture just holds together and forms a ball.  (Be careful not to add too much water as dough will be hard to roll.)

Shape dough into a ball and divide in half.  Cover one half with plastic wrap: set aside.  Place remaining half on a lightly floured (USE RICE FLOUR) sheet of wax paper.  Top with additional piece of wax paper.  roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness.  Remove top sheet of wax paper.  (Replace wax paper, flip over & remove the other wax paper) Invert dough into a 9 inch deep dish pie plate.  Slowly peel away wax paper.  Trim excess crust.  Turn edge under crimp as desired.  Repeat the remaining half. 

Veggie Cheddar Biscuits

These were so good & easy!

2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup GF Bisquick
2 cups thawed / squeezed broccoli chopped very small
1 cup red pepper chopped (Very small if trying to get it past kids & picky eaters)
2 eggs
Melted butter to brush on top.

Mix all ingredients except butter.  Roll into 2 inch balls.  (Wetting your hands make this easier.)
Place on large greased cookie sheet.  Bake 350* for about 20 min.  You may want to check them sooner. Or they could take longer depending on size of the biscuits. Brush with melted butter.

As with all recipes, I suggest you modify them to suit your needs.  This recipe is one I modified from the original and it was a huge hit!  They tasted a lot like Red Lobster Biscuits.  If you would leave the veggies out they may have been even closer.  I liked the veggies because they were so yummy, you did not even realize they were in there!  (You can see from the picture, I did not chop my very small.  You could chop them more.)
