Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup white rice flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup potato starch flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup very cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup very cold shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Filling

  • 5 cups fresh blueberries (about 1 1/2 lb)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 jar (12 oz) gluten-free blueberry preserves
  • 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Steps

  • 1
    In food processor, place flours, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons sugar, the xanthan gum, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pumpkin pie spice. Cover; pulse, using quick on-and-off motions, until blended. Add 1/2 cup butter and the shortening. Cover; pulse until coarse crumbs form, about 5 seconds. Add water; pulse just until dough comes together. Divide dough in half; flatten each into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm.

    Line cookie sheet with foil; place on lower oven rack to catch any drips. Heat oven to 375°F. Unwrap 1 dough disk (keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to use). Between 2 sheets of cooking parchment paper generously sprinkled with rice flour, roll dough into 12-inch round about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully peel off top piece of parchment paper; replace paper and turn round over. Peel off parchment paper from second side of dough and discard.

    Place upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate on dough round. Turn plate with dough over; remove parchment paper and discard. Pat dough into plate, pressing together any cracks or tears. In small bowl, beat egg white. Brush over dough. Spoon filling into crust-lined plate.

    Unwrap second dough disk. Between 2 sheets of cooking parchment paper generously sprinkled with rice flour, roll dough into 12-inch round about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully peel off top piece of parchment paper; invert dough onto filling. Peel off parchment paper from second side of dough and discard. Using sharp knife, trim crusts even with edge of plate; crimp edge with fork to seal. Cut vents in top crust. In small bowl, beat egg yolk and milk. Brush over dough. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Go ahead and eliminate the shortening and add 1/4 cup more butter. Feel free to use your favorite berry preserves or jam instead of blueberry.
  • tip 2
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
