Use very cold ingredients! This is crucial for a flaky crust. Place the butter and eggs in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before starting. Don't overwork the dough. Overworking develops gluten, which we don't want in a gluten-free crust. Handle the dough as little as possible. If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up. For a blind-baked crust, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper and pie weights before baking. This crust can also be used for tarts or other pastry applications.
