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.
