To Make Your Own GF Crust

GF Crust

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup almond flour
• ½ cup tapioca flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ½ tsp xanthan gum
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 large egg
• 1–2 tbsp ice water (as needed)
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (optional)

Directions:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
• Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Beat the egg and mix into the dough.
• Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough comes together. It should be moist but not sticky.
• Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30–60 minutes.
• Roll out between two sheets of parchment paper. Gently place in pie pan and press into shape.
• Chill again for 15–20 minutes before baking or filling.
• For blind baking: prick the crust with a fork, line with parchment and pie weights, and bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes.
