Glutino Gluten Free Pantry perfect pie crust mix

Gluten Free Pantry calls their product “perfect pie crust mix” and I agree with that. I have been eating gluten free since 2007, and have been trying all kinds of gluten free pie crust recipes and mixes. This one truly is perfect.

To make this pie crust, you add 1/4 tsp baking powder, 2 Tbs sugar (optional), 10 Tbs cold butter, 10 Tbs shortening, 2 eggs, 2 Tbs cold water, and 3 tsp cider vinegar.  Mix it all together, then form into a ball, and chill for 1 hour. The package makes enough dough for 4 single crust pies, or 2 two crust pies.

The instructions say to roll out the pie crust between two pieces of plastic wrap. I had better results when I sprinkled a little bit of corn starch between the layers of plastic first. The pie crust didn’t stick to the plastic wrap as much. Aside from that, it rolled out perfectly, into a thin pie crust.

Once I got the pie crust in the pie pan, I did have to fix a few tears, but it filled the pie plate completely and even held together when I decorated the edge with the tines of a fork.

The finished pie

I alo like about this pie crust mix that it browns beautifully, it holds together when you cut and serve the pie, and tastes like a pie crust should taste. Even my non-gluten free husband liked this one.

I made this two crust pie using this pie crust mix, too. You can see how the pie held together for serving. I am very happy with this mix.
