- 6 oz bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the cold cubed butter and work it in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces remaining. Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork, until the dough just comes together and holds when pressed — it should not be sticky or wet. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any overhang to about 1/2 inch and fold it under to form a neat edge. Prick the base all over with a fork.
