- Yield: 2 Pie Crusts
- Prep Time: 1 hr
- Cook Time: 45 min
Ingredients
1 ½ Teaspoons Salt
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 ½ Sticks Unsalted Butter, cold, cubed
½ Cup Sour Cream
½ Cup Ice Cold Water
1 Egg, to brush on top
Instructions
Forming
- Place Caputo Gluten Free Flour, salt and baking powder in a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add butter and sour cream and pulse again until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then slowly add in ice cold water, pulsing until dough comes together. Once a ball forms in the food processor, remove.
- Divide the dough in half and turn out each half onto a lightly floured sheet of parchment and shape into a disk. Place another sheet of parchment on top of each disk, and roll out each one to an 11-inch disk about ¼ inch thick.
- Place in the fridge on a sheet tray for a minimum of 1 hour.
Baking
- When you are ready to fill and bake your pie, preheat your oven to 425F.
- Turn over one sheet of dough onto the base of a 9-inch pie dish. If any cracks appear, smooth them out by pushing it together with your fingers. Be sure that the filling you are using is cooled.
- (Optional) Once your pie is filled, lay your second pie crust over the top and press the top dough together to create a rim. Remove any excess dough after sealing it tight.
- (Optional) Feel free to cut and layer a unique pattern onto your pie. For the best results, be sure to keep your dough cold when working with it.
- Before baking, beat one egg and brush over the top of the pie. Be sure to poke in slits, or leave space for the filling to breathe!
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, serve, and enjoy with family and friends 😊
