Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
4 ounces margarine (see below***)

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or water if you can't use vinegar)
3 tablespoons ice cold water

Preparation

*Mix flours, salt, and xanthan gum in a bowl. Rub in the margarine,but not too much. The mixture should resemble baked beans rather than breadcrumbs.
*In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and ice water.
Slowly stir the egg mix into the flour mix, until a ball is formed.
*Knead the pastry (with a little gf flour if needed) for 2-3 minutes.
Wrap the pastry and place in the fridge for at least an hour. **It can be frozen at this stage.
*If the pastry is a little hard when removed from the fridge, knead again a little bit.
*Roll out on a floured surface. Place in pie pan and follow baking instructions for your pie recipe.
*If cooked pastry is needed for your recipe the pastry can be cooked at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
