Remember...

All of the ingredients in these recipes can be purchased "gluten free", always read labels to be sure your ingredients are GF

I only use Jules Gluten Free flour anymore in my recipes. The recipes will work out great with it, but I can't garantee that using another all purpose mix will work out as well or taste good. If you haven't tried this mix. It is WELL worth the time and effort to order it. I can make anything except types of bread. Still working on that.

Rice Flour Pie Crust


This pie crust is actually very tasty. (My husband liked it better than regular pie crust.)  It is crispy and has a great taste and I don't see it getting soggy like regular crusts do.

1 1/2 c white rice flour
1/4 t baking powder
1 T Sugar
1 Pinch Salt
1 Large Egg
1/4 c butter or margarine (I added another T)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Set aside a 9" pie pan.  Beat egg and butter or margarine in a medium bowl.  Sift dry ingredients together and another bowl and at to egg mixture.  Stir.  Dough will be soft (if it is too crumbly add 1 T water at a time until it makes a ball.  I used about 3 T on mine). Place dough on a rice floured surface. Roll out.

Here's the tricky part.  You have to slice the dough into about 8 pieces and pick each of them up with a spatula and place in pan.  Then you have to press it back together in the pan.  Shape it and the edges to get the desired look.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. (The dough does not stay together very well, but it is very forgiving. Once it is cooked it stays together like a normal crust.)
