Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add room temperature butter and ⅓ of the gluten-free flour into a large mixer.
  2. Mix until well combined, then add the egg and another ⅓ of the flour.
  3. Add the remaining ⅓ of the flour and mix into a dough ball.
  4. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of extra gluten-free flour onto a large cutting board.
  5. Roll out the dough into a flat circle slightly larger than your pie pan.
  6. Drape the dough over the pie pan and press it gently into the shape of the pan.
  7. If available, place pie weights on top of a parchment paper cutout that fits the pie shell before baking.
  8. If pie weights are not available, cut small slits in the corners and edges of the dough to prevent bubbling.
  9. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
