• 1/2 cup cold salted butter, diced into cubes

______________

Instructions |

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

• Add into a bowl together the gluten-free flour and the cold butter, use your hands to mix and press the butter into the flour. It will create a crumbly dough. Be careful not to over work it too long or else the butter will melt.

• Add in the partial egg yolk and ice water. Mix it all together.

• The mixture should start forming a dough that you can work with your hands and knead. If it is still too wet, add in more flour until it resembles a proper dough.

• Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and knead the dough just to make sure it has all combined.

• Separate the dough into two parts and shape them into rough spheres.

• Wrap them in plastic wrap then refrigerate for 40 minutes.

• Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the fridge and combine them together.

• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface to be a circular shape that will fit a 9”glass pie plate. Place the dough over the pie plate and form it into the mold.

• Cover the pie plate with parchment paper to cover all of the dough. Pour pie weights over the parchment paper into the pie plate to keep the dough from rising too much in the oven.

• Parbake the crust for 12 minutes then remove from the oven & cool.

• Prep your filling and make a delicious pie with your crust & enjoy!
