Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (such as Compliments™)

  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ½ cup shortening, chilled and cubed

  • ½ cup ice water

Directions

  1. Mix flour and sugar together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Mix in egg until combined. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and knead until the pastry holds together. Form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and firm, about 1 hour.

  2. Cut ball in half; place each half on separate sheets of parchment paper. Flatten with your hand and cover with a second piece of parchment. Roll into 1/8-inch-thick crusts, flipping once, using a rolling pin. Peel off the top sheet of parchment. Fold 1 crust in half. Fold again into quarters; transfer to a pie plate. Unfold and fit into plate; peel off second layer of parchment.

  3. Reserve remaining crust to top filled pie.

Cook's Notes:

Rather than placing the pastry on a pie plate, you can instead cut it into 4-inch rounds and place them into a paper-lined muffin tin or tart pans.

In Step 2, you may need to lift parchment off of pastry if it starts to stick as this will make rolling easier.
