How to Make Pastry Recipe For Pie Crust Gluten Free

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon xanthan gum.
  2. Cut in 1 cup cold vegan margarine (or Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening for soy-free) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. The mixture should resemble baked beans rather than breadcrumbs. If it's too crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of ice water at a time.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 4-6 tablespoons ice water until lightly frothy.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until it comes together.
  7. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or freeze for longer storage).
  8. If the dough is firm after chilling, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
  9. On a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper, roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
  10. Carefully transfer the dough to your pie pan.
  11. Fill with your favorite pie filling and bake according to your pie recipe instructions.
  12. For a pre-baked crust, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
