A buttery, flaky gluten-free pie crust that delivers the texture of traditional crusts without gluten, perfect for any pie or tart.

  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Yield: One 9-inch double crust or two single 9-inch pie shells

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter, very cold, cubed
  • 34 tbsp ice water
  • 1 tbsp vodka (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and sugar in a bowl or food processor.
  2. Cut in the cold butter until pea-sized flakes form.
  3. Add ice water and vodka just until the dough holds together.
  4. Chill the dough for 45–60 minutes.
  5. Roll the dough between parchment paper to 1/8–1/4 inch thick.
  6. For extra flakiness, fold the dough like a letter once, chill again for 10 minutes, then roll out gently.
  7. Blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) with pie weights for 18–22 minutes or bake per filling instructions.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for best results. Wrap and freeze unbaked dough for up to 2 months for convenience.
