Steps

45 mins

1

Sift the dry ingredients excluding the sugar into a bowl and rub in the butter or fat to form 'breadcrumbs'
2

Mix in the sugar then add some of the water to form a soft but not sticky dough
3

On a floured surface knead until smooth and crack free
4

Split the dough into 2, wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for half an hour before use
5

Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper as gf pastry can be quite tricky to move without breaking but patches very easily. If making a pie, slip a plate under the bottom parchment, peel off the top one, put the pie dish on top and flip it over, then press the dough into the tin
6

Can be frozen. Just follow your recipe for cooking times. To blind bake use gas 6 / 200C / 400°F for 20 - 25 minutes
7

For a whole grain crust, replace the rice flours and cornstarch amounts with 75g millet flour, 75g sorghum flour and 60g gf oat flour
8

This is enough for 2 x 9" pie crusts / shells
