Monique's Gluten Free Pie Crust

A dear, sweet friend sent me this recipe for a gluten free pie crust.  It is also soy free, egg free and nut free.  If you substitute out the butter, this pie crust can also be dairy free!

2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
2 T sugar
1 tsp salt

Process the above ingredients in a food processor.

Add 11/4 cups cold, unsalted butter (or non-dairy replacement)

Process for 15 seconds!

Add 1 more cup of gluten free all purpose flour

Process until combined.

Dump into a mixing bowl.

Add:

1/4 c ice cold vodka
1/4 c ice cold water although you may not need it all depending on the absorbency of the flour

Divide dough in half.  Roll into balls and wrap in plastic wrap.  Chill for at least 45 minutes.  Roll out between two sheets of wax paper.  Add pie filling and bake as normal.
