Instructions
Prep and Mix the Crust Dough
Start by preheating the oven to 350F. Grease or butter your pie pan and set it to the side.
In a large mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Add in the cubed butter and mix.
In a separate large bowl, add the wet ingredients and combine together.
Carefully, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine. It should start to form a dough if it's too dry, add a Tablespoon of cold water and check the consistency. If still dry, add another Tablespoon and check again. Repeat until you get your desired consistency- you want it to feel like Play-doh.
Roll Out The Pie Crust Dough
Place a piece of wax paper on your clean work surface. Work the dough into a ball and put the dough on the wax paper.
Put another sheet of wax paper on top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough into a circle shape.
Toss the top piece of wax paper and transfer the rolled out pie dough to your prepped pie plate.
Toss the other piece of wax paper.
Bake Gluten-Free Pie Crust Recipe
Gently press the pie crust into the pie plate. Remove any excess dough that falls over the edges. A nice sharp knife or pastry cutter works best.
If you have pie weights, you can place them in. Place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
Remove crust from oven and pie weights if you used them, and add your pie filling. Bake for an additional 25 minutes with filling, or according to your specific recipe instructions.
Let pie cool slightly (or to room temperature depending on type of pie) before serving.
Enjoy your pie with a homemade flaky pie crust.
