How to Make Bette Hagmans Four Flour Pastry Gluten Free Pie Crust

  1. Whisk together in a medium bowl: 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (containing brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and sweet rice flour), ¼ cup tapioca starch, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
  2. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine and ½ cup cold vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of fat.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 3 tablespoons ice water.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined.
  5. Add 3 more tablespoons of ice water and stir for 20-30 seconds.
  6. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  7. Generously dust a clean work surface with sweet rice flour.
  8. Roll your rolling pin in the flour to coat.
  9. Divide the dough in half. On the floured surface, roll out one half to approximately ⅛ inch thickness.
  10. Carefully roll the dough around the rolling pin.
  11. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate, unrolling gently.
  12. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
  13. Fold the overhang under, creating a 1 ½-inch rim.
  14. Add your favorite pie filling.
  15. Roll out the second half of the dough and either top the pie or use for another pie shell.
  16. Crimp the edges decoratively using your thumb and forefinger.
  17. For a baked pie shell, prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
  18. Cover the edges with foil strips to prevent over-browning. Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
  19. Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 12-14 minutes for a pie shell, or according to your filling's baking instructions.
  20. Cool completely before filling (if applicable).
