Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rice flour
• 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 4 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the ice water and apple cider vinegar. Gradually add this liquid to the flour mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently with a fork or spatula after each addition. Stop adding water once the dough begins to come together but is not sticky.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather it into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

Step 5

When ready to use, lightly dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with rice flour. Roll out the chilled dough to the desired size, turning and rotating it to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a pie dish. Press it gently into the dish and trim any excess overhang. Use as directed in your pie recipe, pre-baking the crust if necessary.
