Description

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup sorghum flour
• ⅓ cup millet flour
• ⅓ cup tapioca starch
• ⅓ cup rice flour
• ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup cold butter (see note RE dairy free subs)
• 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 3-5 tablespoons ice cold water

Directions

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together the flours, xanthan gum, and salt.
• Add the butter and using a pastry cutter or 2 knives cut the butter into the flours until it looks like very coarse crumbs with some large chunks of butter about the size of your fingernail(see picture).
• Add the apple cider vineagar, and then add the ice water 1 Tbs at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until it starts to pull together into a crumbly looking dough. If you pinch in between your fingers it should easily come together into a dough. It took me 3 Tbs of water, but depending on your climate, your flour, and the weather you might need more.
• Dump the mixture onto a large square of plastic wrap, and use the plastic wrap to form the dough into a disc, handling it as little as possible.
• Wrap the disk tightly in the plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. (Dont let it rest much longer, it will dry out.)
• Roll out the disc of dough between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper until it is ⅛-1/4 thick.
• Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap and transfer the crust to your 9 inch pie pan buy lifting the crust up, using the bottom sheet of plastic wrap, and then flipping it over into the pan. Gently press the crust into the corners of the pan, repair any tears, and then trim the edges and crimp as desired. I like using a small cookie cutter to cut shapes to decorate the edge of my pie.
• Fill and bake according to your favorite recipe OR...
• To Pre-bake without filling:
• Preheat your oven to 375F and prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pie crust is golden brown. Cool completely before filling.
