Gluten and Dairy Free Easy Pie Crust (1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour)
This easy pie crust has a crisp, cookie-like texture and is gluten and dairy free! While it is not a traditional flaky pie crust, we especially love it when we make Gluten Free Chess Pie (pictured).
¼ cup
Egg Whites (60 mL), or 1 Egg substitute, prepared
6 Tbsp
Water (30 mL), plus more if needed
Instructions
In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse 3 times to combine. Next add cold butter and pulse to form a coarse meal.
Add egg whites and 2 tablespoons water to the flour mixture. Blend to combine. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time if you need the moisture to bring the dough together. This should not be a super sticky dough, but a smooth dough that can be rolled out.
At this point, you can either place the dough on plastic wrap, form it into a square and wrap it tightly, refrigerate or freeze if for later or you can press the dough into your pie plate, freeze it for 15 minutes and bake it however is needed for your recipe.
