Maple-Pecan Pie
- Crust:
- 1.7 ounces potato starch (about 1/3 cup)
- 1.4 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces

- 1/2 cup light-colored corn syrup

- To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon potato starch and flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine potato starch, flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk; toss with a fork until moist. Gently press mixture into a 4-inch circle on 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap that overlap; cover with additional overlapping plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour.
