Instructions
Preparing the Crust:
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, and salt.

Add Egg and Water: Beat the egg lightly and mix into the flour and butter mixture. Gradually add ice water, starting with 30 mL, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Add more water if necessary.
-
Chill: Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
