The Secret to a Flaky Gluten-Free Crust:
The key to a fantastic gluten-free pie crust is using the right blend of gluten-free flour and keeping everything cold. Our recipe uses a blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour (one that already contains xanthan gum), a touch of almond flour for flavor, and plenty of cold butter. Working quickly and using ice water are also essential to prevent the butter from melting, resulting in a tender, flaky crust.
Ingredients:
- For the Crust: Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, almond flour, cold butter, ice water, salt
- For the Filling: Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted), sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, almond extract
Instructions (Brief Overview):
- Prepare the gluten-free pie crust and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the cherry filling by combining cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract.
- Roll out the dough and line a pie dish.
- Pour the cherry filling into the crust.
- Top with a second crust or create a lattice top.
- Bake until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Tips for Success:
- Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend.
- Keep all ingredients cold for the flakiest crust.
- Don’t overwork the dough.
- Blind bake the crust for extra crispness (optional).
