Makes 1 9-inch pie crust Difficulty
Medium
Ingredients
1-1/4 cup gf flour 6 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 2 Tablespoons cold vegetable shortening 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 Tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
Directions
Place the gf flour and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut the butter and shortening into the flour and salt mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and mix just until incorporated. Continue to add more ice water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, until you have a smooth dough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a lightly gf floured surface. (We use an extra large Silpat - a sort of "rubber" non-stick mat - which really helps prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom surface.) Lightly flour the surface of the dough with gf flour. Roll the pastry to a large round, about 12-inches in diameter. Transfer to a deep 9-inch pie dish, trim to within 1/2 inch of the pan, and crimp decoratively. You may find that the outer edges will break off before you can fold them under and crimp - just use excess dough and press onto the outer edge to form and even edge then crimp. Prick with a fork, cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Bake for 15-30 minutes or until light brown in color. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Fill with your favorite pie filling.
