Cut cold butter into small pieces
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and xanthan gum
Cut butter (or shortening) into flour
The butter should resemble the size of small peas
Add milk
Use your hands to work the milk into the dough, until the ingredients are combined and the dough forms a ball. Add more milk if needed
Divide dough in half and roll one dough ball between two pieces of wax paper
Repeat with the second dough ball
Remove the top piece of wax paper and place the pie pan upside down on dough
Flip the pan and pie crust dough over so the pie pan is right side up, then peel the wax paper off
Repair and pinch the gluten-free pie crust dough into shape
If you are baking the crust and then filling it with filling, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
Bake until cooked through
For other recipes where you bake the pie with the filling in it, follow the recipe baking instructions
You're all done!
Enjoy your easy gluten-free pie crust — and don't forget to share.

Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
No butter? Use an equal amount of cold palm shortening or shortening instead.
Storing it
Store baked, cooled crust (unfilled) in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze wrapped well for up to 3 months. Warm in the oven until heated through before filling.
Making it ahead
The dough can be made, divided into balls, and kept wrapped in the fridge a day or two before rolling and baking.
