Why Gluten-Free?

Ingredients
Instructions for Pie Crust
1. Mix lard, gluten-free flour, and milk in a bowl with whisk attachment. These ingredients come together quickly.

2. With your hands form the dough into a ball. Divide the dough in half.

3. Roll out the crust between two pieces of parchment paper until it's about 1/4 inch thick. This method prevents the dough from sticking and makes transfer to the pie pan effortless.

4. Carefully place the pie shell into your pie plate, ensuring it's centered and pressed into the corners without stretching. Flute the edges with your fingers for that classic pie look, and then poke holes across the base with a fork. These holes prevent air pockets from forming and bubbling up the crust.
