Tips:
- For a gluten-free crust, use gluten-free flour.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a heavy-duty baking sheet to bake the crust. This will help prevent the crust from warping.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown around the edges. This will ensure that the crust is cooked through.
