Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.

Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together and holds when pressed — it should not be sticky or crumbly. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
