Standard Pie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons palm oil or coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup, maple syrup, or concentrated fruit juice (I recommend Mystic Lake Dairys pineapple-peach-pear juice concentrate)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water
- 3 cups brown rice flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups palm oil or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons agave syrup, maple syrup, or concentrated fruit juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
- Combine the brown rice flour and salt in a large bowl In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the palm oil until softened, about 1 minute.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture slowly until incorporated.
- Add the agave syrup and water and mix until a soft dough has formed, about 5 minutes.
- If the dough is dry, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is smooth.
- For a double-crust pie, set aside and cover half of the dough.
- There is no need to refrigerate it.
- Dust your work surface (a 12- by 18-inch cutting board or piece of cardboard covered in parchment paper works well) and your hands liberally with brown rice flour.
- Place the dough on your work surface and sprinkle the top with more brown rice flour.
- Roll the dough into an 11-inch disc.
- Place your pie plate on top of the rolled-out dough.
- With one hand under the work surface and the other on the pie plate, flip them so that the cutting board is on top.
- Set the pie plate on the counter, remove the cutting board, and gently press the pie dough into the pie plate.
- Any tears that occur can be fixed by gently pressing and pinching the dough back together.
- For a single-crust pie, decoratively flute the perimeter of the pie crust by pressing a fork along the edge or using your thumb and forefinger to pinch the edge.
- For a double-crust pie, roll out the second half of the crust in the same manner.
- After adding filling to the bottom crust, slide the top crust onto the pie.
- Seal the perimeter by pressing a fork along the edge or using your thumb and forefinger to pinch the edge over the par-baked bottom crust.
