Pie Crust
1

In a large bowl mix the all purpose flour, sugar and salt, cut the butter into the flour mixture in 1 Tbsp
chunks and with either a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour so you end up with little
peas of butter and flour.

2

Add the chilled water start with 3 Tbsp and add it one at a time after that, until the dough sticks
together enough to roll

3

put a piece of wax paper on a pastry board and sprinkle it with sweet rice flour (we use sweet rice flour
because it is finer and not grainy if you use regular rice flour your crust will be grainy and we use the
wax paper so the pie crust is easier to handle and keep in one piece) roll out to fit a 8x8 square glass pan.

4

Refrigerate until you're ready with the filling.
