Makes a 7" Pie Crust
Ingredients
For The Pie Crust
105 Grams Homemade Gluten Free Flour + extra for dusting
60 Grams Butter - chilled butter cut into cubes
1 Egg- beaten - I used half to make the dough
½ Teaspoon White Vinegar
1½ Teaspoons Ice water or as required to make a dough
Method
Pour the vinegar and beaten egg into the bowl and to combine with a fork, slowly add water a teaspoon at a time. You may not need the full amount of water, depending on your climate. When the mixture comes together in the bowl, stop mixing. Please note that, gluten free pie crusts do better when they are slightly wetter (because the flour will soak up some of the liquid).
Divide the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap, flattening each into a round disk. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
To Blind Bake
Preheat the oven to 180° C. Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and line it with a piece of parchment paper. Fill it with pie weights, beans, or rice.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the edges start to brown. Carefully remove the parchment and beans and I brushed the base with egg (this i did so that when I add the filling the base should not get soggy) continue to bake for about 5 more minutes, or until the bottom and sides are lightly browned and no longer shiny. Cool the crust completely before proceeding with your recipe.
