I have tried a lot of recipes trying to find one that compared with the traditional wheat crust that I have been missing. After throwing away many batches, I finally came up with this one and my family loves it. They said they couldn't tell the difference (I am not sure I believe that) but it sure did satisfy my cravings. Hope you like it too.

RICE FLOUR EASY PIE CRUST

This is a recipe I found online on a blog called Chaotic Cooking. Can substitute coconut oil for the butter but not sure how much. I guess you have to experiment to find out. I have not tried this recipe yet but I like to collect recipes that don't use wheat, so please give a report on this if you try it.

GLUTEN-FREE PIE DOUGH



Gluten-Free Pie Dough image

This pie dough comes out tender and flaky and is a wonderful accompaniment to pumpkin filling. There are two secrets to great pie crust. One: Work cold. You want cold flours, cold fats and cold water. Be patient in between steps when you have to refrigerate or freeze here. It's worth the wait. Two: You will see that this recipe is written in ounces. You want 9 ounces of combined flours, 6 ounces of fats and 3 ounces of water. It's a classic 3-2-1 ratio for pie crust. Just like the gluten ones. If you don't have a kitchen scale, you'll want one for this recipe.

Time 2h20m

Yield One 9-inch pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ounces sweet rice flour
2 ounces sorghum flour
2 ounces corn flour
2 ounces potato starch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon guar gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsalted butter
2 ounces leaf lard

Steps:

  • Put the sweet rice flour, sorghum flour, corn flour and potato starch in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the xanthan gum, guar gum and salt.
  • Cube the butter and leaf lard into 1-inch pieces. Lay them gently on the flours. Put the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Working quickly, take the bowl out of the freezer. Using a pastry blender or your hands, work the butter and leaf lard into the flours, coating the fat, until the butter and leaf lard are the size of peas. Don't go too far. You still want to see the fats in the flours.
  • Pour 3 ounces cold water onto the mixture. Stir gently with your hands. You are looking for the flours and fats to be just wet enough that they stick together when pinched. You might need to add an additional tablespoon or two water, depending on the day. If you add a bit too much water, that's okay. A wet dough is better than a dry dough.
  • Bring the dough together into a ball. Gently flatten it into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  • Place the disc of dough between two pieces of plastic wrap (you can also use wax paper or parchment paper). Working from the center outward, gently roll out the dough into a 10-inch circle.
  • Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and gently fit the pie dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Settle it in gently. Don't stretch or push it around too much. Remove the second piece of plastic wrap. If the dough breaks, take small pieces of the dough and fill in any holes, smoothing the dough with slightly moistened fingers. Crimp the edges.
  • Put the pie pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place a buttered piece of foil on the pie dough, nestling it gently against the sides. Fill the foil with dried beans or pie weights.
  • Bake the pie dough for about 20 minutes. Remove the beans and aluminum foil and return the pie dough to the oven for an additional 8 minutes.
  • You now have a blind-baked pie crust, ready to finish with pumpkin filling.

RICE FLOUR PIE CRUST



RICE FLOUR PIE CRUST image

Yield 9" pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 c. white rice flour
1/4 t. baking powder
1 T. sugar
1 pinch salt
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/4 c. melted butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Set aside a 9" pie pan. In a medium bowl, beat egg and butter or margarine. In another bowl, sift the rice flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add to egg mixture. Stir; the dough will be soft. Handle carefully. Place dough on a rice-floured surface. Sprinkle rice flour over rolling pin. Roll out a little larger than a 9" pie plate. Cut pastry into 6 pieces. Use a large spatula and carefully slip one piece at a time onto the pie plate. Repeat until all pieces have been used and edges line up. Seal edges with fingertips. It will look as neat and hold together as well as any other flour crust. Bake for 20 mins. or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use superfine rice flour: This will help the crust to be more tender and less gritty.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help the crust to be less sticky and easier to work with.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough: Rolling the dough too much will make it tough.
  • Bake the crust in a preheated oven: This will help the crust to be crispy and golden brown.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it: This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Rice flour pie crust is a delicious and versatile alternative to traditional wheat flour pie crust. It is perfect for people with gluten sensitivities or those who are looking for a healthier option. With its nutty flavor and crispy texture, rice flour pie crust is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're baking a pie, give rice flour pie crust a try!
