Soy-Free, Egg-Free, Oil-Based Pie Crust

By , from the Wendy Cohan collection
Yield 1 crust

Introduction

This recipe is adapted from one by Betty Hagman.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose gluten-free baking mix (2 parts brown-rice flour, 1 part sorghum flour, 1 part tapioca starch, ½ part potato starch)
½ cup potato starch
½ cup sweet rice flour
3 tsp. xanthan gum
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. crystalline fructose
3 Tbsp. cold rice milk
cup vegetable oil

Steps

  1. Mix together all the dry ingredients, then mix together the rice milk and oil.
  2. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the rice milk-oil mixture, stirring gently with a fork to combine.
  3. When the dough is just barely beginning to hold together, turn it out onto a floured surface and flatten and fold, then flatten and fold again. Do not overwork the dough. Roll out carefully between 2 sheets of waxed paper.
  4. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper and invert the crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Using waxed paper, press the crust into the pan, then remove the paper. Use a similar technique for the top crust if making a two-crust pie.

Xanthum gum and veg oil both are or contain soy, So this recipe would not work for people with soy allergies
