Ingredients

45 mins
2 servings
  1. 150 gramsrice flour
  2. 60 gramssweet rice flour
  3. 60 gramscornstarch
  4. 2 tbspsugar (if making sweet pastry)
  5. 1 tspxanthan gum
  6. 225 gramssunflower spread/butter or hard vegetable fat
  7. 4 tbspiced water or as much as required

Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    On a floured surface knead until smooth and crack free

  4. 4

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

  5. 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. 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. 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. 8

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