Bette Hagman's Featherlight Vinegar Pastry

Make it for
½×1×2×3×
enough for a 2-crust 9" pie or 2 pastry shells

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups featherlight flour
1 rounded teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
4 tablespoons ice water
Sweet rice flour for rolling

Instructions

1

Blend the flour mix, xanthan gum, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until coarse crumbs form.

2

In a small bowl, beat the vinegar and egg together with a fork. Add the ice water.

3

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a fork and keep adding liquid until the dough forms a ball. Work a little with your hands to obtain a smooth texture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before rolling out.

4

Divide the dough in half and roll out on plastic wrap. Use as much of the sweet rice flour as needed to work easily.

5

Place in a pie tin. If using plastic wrap for easier handling, remove it to the pie tin and invert the dough into the pan. Bake as directed for the filling used.

6

For a baked crust, prick the pastry with a fork on sides and bottom. Bake the crust in a preheated 450º oven for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned. Cool before filling.
