Gluten Free Pie Crust

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup Robin Hood gluten free flour blend
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold lard
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 8 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl whisk the gluten free flour blend, arrowroot starch, xanthan gum and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to a stand mixer.
  • With machine running on low, cut up lard and butter into small squares and add to dry ingredients.
  • Do not overmix.
  • You are looking for the dough to have pea sized pieces in it.
  • Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of cold water over flour mixture and blend on low.
  • Repeat moistening flour with 1 Tbsp of cold water at a tie until all the flour mixture is moistened.
  • For me that took 8 Tbsp of water.
  • Remove dough from bowl and roll into a ball.
  • Cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.
  • I roll my gluten free pie crust dough on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • This way I am not adding too much flour to the dough when rolling.
