Instructions
To Make GF Flour Mix for Pie Dough
  1. Add all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to mix. Store in mason jar.
To Make GF Pie Dough
  1. Mix dry ingredients. GF Flour Mix, salt, sugar and baking powder.
  2. Thoroughly mix in half of the butter (I use a food processor, but use a fork or pastry cutter otherwise), and toss in the remaining butter chunks. DO NOT mix them thoroughly, we want to leave the pieces quite large. Squish them a little with your fingers or break up into slightly smaller chunks.
  3. Add your ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork, until it comes together. It will not feel like regular pie dough, but more like dry-ish biscuit dough (wetter than usual pie dough). Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. Roll out dough between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Flour liberally with the gluten free flour or rice flour.
  5. Roll out dough until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Remove the top piece of parchment or plastic and fold your rolled out dough in half, then half again. So now have 4 layers. Replace the parchment or plastic wrap and roll out the dough again. Repeat the folding process. By now it should be easier to work with. Roll out the dough one last time again using additional flour as necessary. Gently place the dough into your pie pan.
Recipe Notes

1 cup of GF Flour Mix weighs approx 120 gms.

Folding the rolled dough then re-rolling (twice) gives you the flakiness you’re looking for.
