Key equipment

  • Kitchen scales
  • measuring spoons
  • large bowl
  • small bowl
  • flat table knife

Ingredients

  • 110 g Gluten Free Rice Free Flour blend GFA Blend B - See NOTES
  • 55 g potato starch flour
  • 55 g gram flour (chickpea flour/garbanzo flour)
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • ½ tsp baking powder gluten free
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 55 g unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 55 g Trex/lard cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg UK large
  • 2½ tbsp cold water
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Weigh the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and mix together until evenly combined.
  • Add the butter and lard/Trex to the bowl and rub the into the flour mixture using finger tips, until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water and then pour into the crumb mixture.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the crumb mixture using a table knife until it begins to clump together.
  • Once it is beginning to come together as a dough, leave the mixture to stand for 5 to 10 minutes to fully absorb the liquid.
  • Finally, bring the dough together with your hands and press into a ball.
  • If not using immediately, wrap and refrigerate. And when ready to use, take from the fridge and knead very lightly to enable it to become 'rollable'.

Notes

* Note: nutritional information is an estimate & may vary according to portion size/ingredient variants.
Gluten Free Alchemist Flour Blend B can be found on the GFA Flours & Flour Blending Page. If using an alternative flour (particularly one which is heavily rice-based), the texture may be slightly different and more liquid may be required.
