How to Make a Simple Gluten Free Pie Crust:

How do you cut butter into flour?

Mix your dry ingredients and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour. These tiny pieces of cut butter is what makes your pie crust so flaky and delicious.

Tip: Make sure the butter is really cold before cutting it into the flour. Cold butter makes your pie crust flakier!

Pour in your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients cut with butter and mix. Time to get your hands dirty!  Use your hands to blend in until you have a firm gluten free dough ball.

Place the pie dough between two sheets of wax paper and roll in a circle shape.

How big do you roll out pie crust dough?

I like to roll my pie crust dough and then when I think I am close to the size of the pan, I will hold the pan up to the dough circle. You want the dough to be rolled out and big enough to go up the sides, and to have a little extra to pinch along the outer edges.

Remove the top piece of wax paper. (Tip: Keep the wax paper on one side of the crust dough so that you can transfer it to your pie pan easier!)

Position the dough over your pie pan.

Pinch the edges of the dough in a design. Use a fork to make steam holes on the bottom. These steam holes prevent your crust from bubbling and puffing up in a weird way.

How long do you bake a gluten free pie crust?

When baking gluten free, I find that you need to pre-bake your pie crust a little before adding filling. I bake this pie crust at 350F degrees for 10-15 minutes. Remove the pie crust from the oven and add your fruit or another pie filling. You can make a top crust, or bake as is to cook the filling in.

Now your pie crust is ready to fill to make your gluten free pie! I love this easy gluten free pie crust recipe to make gluten free quiche crust too!
