Pie pastry - Sweet
This is my go-to pastry recipe for everything sweet that requires a pie shell. Of course you can always use the savoury version pie pastry recipe, but this adds a bit more structure for those gooier recipes.

Ingredients
Pastry
| 3/4 cup white sugar |
| 2 lg eggs |
| 1/4 tsp Kosher salt |
| 2 cup Frankie's gluten-free all-purpose flour blend |
| 142 g butter, unsalted, cold and cubed. |
Pie pastry - Sweet Directions
In a stand mixer combine the eggs and white sugar and whisk together. Then add the flour, salt and butter. Mix until well combined. If you're using a stand mixer, this mixture will look too dry to come together, and then it will turn to crumbs and then all of a sudden the whole thing will come together.
Once the dough comes together roll it out on a well floured surface, or chill in the fridge if it is too sticky. Placing the dough in the fridge will allow the butter to firm up a bit and let you work with it a bit more.
Use as your recipe calls.
This dough works well baked with product in it as well as par-baked. Use your pie or tart recipe for baking instructions, however basic baking temperature is 350°F or 175°C.
Recipe makes up to two 9 inch (23cm) pie shells with a little bit left over (depending on how thick you roll the dough).
I use Frankie's gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for this pastry because I know that it works so well and I can use it in almost any recipe out there, regardless if the recipe is gluten-free or not. If you'd like to make this pastry just like I do, you can order some at: glutenfreefrankies.com or through Amazon, just search for Frankie's flour.
