Re: GF Pie Crust? Chicken Pot Pie

[Guest guest]

This hasn't been posted before, but I've used this for an apple pie, and a beef

pot pie. It turned out quite well.

1/3 cup ice water

2 tsp. cider vinegar

2 egg yolks

1 cup rice flour

1 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup tapioca starch

2 tsp. xanthan gum

1/4 tsp. salt

1 cup shortening, ( I used half coconut oil, half butter)

1. In small bowl combine ice water, vinegar and egg yolks. Set aside.

2. In a food processor fit with metal blade, pulse rice flour, cornstarch,

tapioca starch, xanthan gum and salt until mixed.

3. Add shortening and pulse until mixture resembles small peas. With machine

running, add egg mixture in a slow steady stream. Process just until dough

holds together. Do not let it form a ball.

4. Divine dough in half, gently gather into ball and flatten into disk and wrap

in plastic or wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes

at room temp before rolling out.

5. Place pastry disk between 2 sheet of waxed paper and roll into a circle 1

inch larger than diameter of pie plate. Remove 1 layer of wax paper and invert

over pie plate and carefully remove other layer of paper. Trim off excess.

To bake unfilled: prick bottom and sides with fork, and bake at 425F for 18-20

minutes until golden. Let cool completely before filling.

To bake filled: Do not prick. Spoon filling into pastry shell and bake

according to recipe directions.

GF Pie Crust? Chicken Pot Pie

Did someone post a GF pie crust recipe recently? I can't find it. I

was looking for something not for a dessert-type, but for something like

pot pies - since I have all this cooked chicken hanging around, want to do

something a little different.

Thanks!

Could of been this one:

Donna Jo's Dream Pastry

1/2 c. tapioca flour

1/2 c. cornstarch

1/4 c. potato starch flour

1 c. sweet rice flour

1 rounded teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 t. salt

Dash of sugar (optional)

Blend together, sift if necessary.

1/2 c. margarine or butter

1/2 c. butter-flavor Crisco (use lard)

Cut in with fork or pastry blender (I use the KitchenAid mixer)

until the fat is the size of lima beans.

1 egg, cold

1 T. GF vinegar

2 T. ice water

Beat the egg using a fork, add the vinegar and ice water to the

egg. Stir into the flour mixture, forming a ball. (I switch to the

doughhook on my mixer.) Knead until smooth and refrigerate for one

hour or more.

Divide dough (makes enough for 3 9 " pies) and roll out between two

sheets of plastic wrap. Remove one layer of plastic wrap and invert

over pie pan, the remaining piece of plastic (now on TOP) will keep

the dough from tearing till you get everything positioned. Bake at

450 for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned, or as per the pie

filling requirements.
