Dream Pastry (wheat and soy free)

This pastry is remarkable.  I think it is every bit as good as a wheat pastry.

½ cup tapioca flour

½ cup cornstarch

½ cup brown rice flour

1 cup sweet rice flour

1 rounded teaspoon xanthan gum

½ teaspoon salt

Mix dry ingredients to blend.

Cut in:

½ cup coconut oil

½ cup Spectrum shortening

Mix liquid ingredients together and add to flour / shortening mixture.

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

4 tablespoons ice water

A bit more water may be needed to form a ball.  Might require kneading.

Divide dough and roll out half on waxed paper.  Invert dough with waxed paper over pie pan and peel away the waxed paper, pressing dough to fit pie pan.

This recipe makes two pie shells or a top and bottom crust for a single 9” pie.
