Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups Gluten-Free Flour Blend Use a blend that includes starch for optimal flakiness
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Ensure it's gluten-free if pre-packaged
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Can substitute with vegan butter for dairy-free option
  • 1 large Egg Substitute with 3 tablespoons of whipped aquafaba for egg-free version
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Vinegar can be used as a substitute
  • 2-4 tablespoons Water Adjust based on flour blend's moisture absorption
Optional Toppings
  • 1 large Egg For egg wash to brush on the crust before baking

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pie pan
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour blend and salt, whisking until evenly distributed.
  2. Cut chilled unsalted butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, lemon juice, and cold water until smooth. Gradually pour into flour and butter blend, stirring gently.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Carefully lift the rolled-out dough and place it into a greased 9-inch pie pan.
  7. If pre-baking, poke holes in the bottom of the crust and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. If using a top crust, roll out a second portion of dough and place it over the filling.

Notes

Ensure your butter is cold for flakiness and avoid overmixing to keep the crust tender. Let the pie crust cool before adding no-bake fillings.
