This easy Gluten Free Pie Crust recipe, made using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, creates the perfect gf crust for any sweet or savory pie.

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups (300 grams) 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, more for work surface
  • ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 16 tablespoons (226 grams) cold butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons (55 grams) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) apple cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup (75 grams) ice water

Instructions

  1. Add the gluten-free flour blend, salt and baking powder to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.
  2. Add in the butter and cream cheese and pulse 7 times.
  3. Add the vinegar to the water. With the motor running, pour the water mixture into the flour. Continue to process the dough until it forms together into a ball around the blade.
  4. Remove the dough from the processor and divide it into two equal portions.
  5. At this point, you can roll out the dough immediately on a well floured surface, or you can store the dough in plastic wrap for up to 3 days in the refrigerator (or 3 months in the freezer).

Notes

This recipe was tested using Diamond Crystal coarse kosher salt. If you use Morton's kosher salt or fine salt, decrease the volume by half.

This has been successfully tested with King Arthur Flour Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour and Bob's Red Mill 1-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. 

To make this in a stand mixer:  blend the dry ingredients first, then paddle in the cream cheese and butter until it's not longer visible (but still crumbly). Then gradually add in the liquid until it comes together around the paddle.

Dough can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight, or let sit at room temperature for about an hour, though being careful not to let it get too soft.

Originally published in 2019, this recipe has been regularly re-tested and updated to ensure it remains perfect.
