Flour Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix, Packaging May Vary, 14 Ounces (Pack of 1)

I recently tried King Arthur Flour Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix, and I couldn’t be more impressed! As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I’ve tried many different mixes, and this one truly stands out. The instructions were straightforward, and the dough came together beautifully with minimal effort. It rolled out easily and didn’t crack, which can be a challenge with gluten-free dough. The only drawback I found was that the dough had to be rolled out at room temperature, rather than chilled. The final result was a perfectly flaky, tender crust that tasted just like traditional pie crust—rich, buttery, and wonderfully crisp. It held up well with both sweet and savory fillings, and my family couldn’t even tell it was gluten-free! I love that it’s made with simple, quality ingredients, and I feel good about serving it to my loved ones. I highly recommend King Arthur Flour Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix to anyone looking for a reliable, delicious gluten-free option. It’s a game-changer!

This gluten-free crust has a delicious flavor and crumb to it. I’ve used it multiple times and always comes out great the quality and versatility are good. It stays fresh for quite a while after baking..

I haven't eaten a good gluten-free pie crust since I gave up eating wheat 15 years ago. I've tried almond flour crusts, and crusts made with gluten-free flour blends. They've all been terrible. Until now--this King Arthur pie crust mix is so good! My family couldn't believe that it was gluten free. It's easy to work with. It breaks a little when you pick it up to put it in the pie plate, but it mends easily. I could even use it for a top crust. The crimped edges held nicely too. Sometimes gluten-free baked goods have a rubbery or gooey texture, but this pie crust is flaky and tender, and keeps its good texture for several days. This is my new go-to for pie crust!

I've been baking with King Arthur's gluten free products for a few years since my family has gone gluten free. Never tried their pie crust mix until now, and to be honest, I was a bit hesitant seeing all the complaints here. I'm so glad I went ahead and ordered a few boxes anyway. My apple, pumpkin, and pecan pies turned out perfect. Gluten free dough is always a bit finicky but you'll have no problems if you know what to expect. Attached are a few pictures. Make sure the butter and water are very very cold. First, just add the small chunks of butter into the dry mix. Then keep squishing the small chunks together with the mixture, so eventually there'll be no dry mix left, it'll all be blended with the butter chunks. Here, I was working with 2 boxes of mix and double amount of butter. It took about 5 minutes to get to this "wet sand" consistency where the mixture looked like boiled chopped cauliflower - if grabbed by your hand, it will stick together, but quickly fall apart, and no dry mix left in the bowl. Then, and only then begin to add in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, immediately kneading it in. From here, as you will see, the dough will come together in no more than a minute, forming a lovely, smooth dough ball. Chill it - personally I found that it works better to let it sit in the fridge overnight, airtight-wrapped of course, then pull it out to room temp for 10 minutes before working with it. It will make your dough even more soft buttery and flaky. For sure be careful when rolling it, but that's true to any GF dough. I prefer working with one layer of nonstick parchment paper, then dough, then syringe wrap on top. Roll between these two layers to desired size, then while carefully holding it, gently peel off the parchment, turn it into the pan, and remove the syringe wrap. Chill it again in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before filling, and there you have it, a perfect GF pie. Just be patient with it and you'll see it works fine! :)

I don't, personally, care if a pie crust is gluten-free or not. I make an English Pastry Pie Crust recipe from the old Betty Crocker Cook Book that is easy to work with, flexible enough for just about any pie crust requirement, freezes well, and tastes great. However, if a gluten-free pie crust is required, the Betty Crocker crust just won't cut it. My step-daughter won't eat a pie that is made with a regular crust. She is, other wise, not unreasonable, so I have tried several gluten-free pie crust products and recipes, over the years, all of which ended up being disappointing, trouble-making trash that ended up in the garbage. This pie crust mix is an exception. While it is more difficult to work with than a Betty Crocker, made from scratch, recipe, it is still easy enough to work with and it tastes really good. I don't know if the post-mix product tastes the same or lasts if it frozen but for a fresh, gluten-free pie crust, it is the best I've come across. My only cautions are that, when you roll it out after you've mixed it up, you will need more of the mix or another gluten-free flour to dust the surfaces so that you can actually roll it out thin enough to make the right sized crust and transfer it to the pie dish. If you use the package to make one crust, you won't have enough mix to make the second crust unless you are making a two-crust pie and make the top crust with less ingredient. Also, I will suggest that, if you are used to rolling your crust out between two layers of waxed-paper, you need to switch to a wider-dimensioned paper (like a parchment paper) so that overage crust dough won't stick to the underlying counter top or pastry board. At its best, gluten-free pie crust is still too friable to hold together on its own.

This is a great gf crust. It's a bit sweeter, almost like a shortbread, but still crisps up nicely. I've used this crust for two holiday seasons now and have learned a couple things to make it easier to work with. 1. Add very cold water, I used 6tbsp, and work it into the dough with your hands. It starts off very dry but the warmth of your hands melts the butter and makes it come together. 2. When rolling out the dough wet your surface and place a layer of cling wrap on top, then place your dough with another layer of cling wrap. Roll the dough between the two layers of cling wrap. Peel off your top layer then flip the dough into your pie plate and shape. The edges will need mending but it's mendable.

First time I bought a boxed gluten free pie shell mix and it was so easy to make and delicious. I would highly recommend it. Just need to know that you have to press it down a lot with your fingers while rolling it out so it will be smooth. I guess you can also use more water to blend it but I didn’t want it to be too tough.

The box contains mix for 2 pie crusts, so is rather pricey. Directions are easy to understand but no temp is given for baking. The amount of water suggested to make the dough is about 1/2 of what it really took to get a workable product. Baked, the product was okay, but tasteless even though I used butter. Needs to be improved.
