Message from Maggie:  I am making my Grandma’s strawberry pie for our company summer party tomorrow.  Everyone on our team has a food issue (Lindsay is celiac and Beth is allergic to wheat) so I had to find a crust that was gluten free.  I followed Martha Stewarts recipe with a few alterations in the instructions.

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (Note:  I am a firm believer in King Arthur- disclaimer their president is a friend of my husbands but it truly does compare to all purpose flour!)
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 large egg
• 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
• 9-inch pie pan

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl combine flour and salt.
2. Add butter to the bowl and using a pastry blender combine until mixture resembles fine meal, with no large pieces of butter remaining.
3. Add egg and 2 tablespoons ice water, then use a pastry blender until well combined and dough holds together when squeezed.
4. If necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
5. If recipe calls for pre-baking like my Grandma’s strawberry pie, roll out dough into a circle and place in greased pie pan.
6. Press dough firmly into pan and using fingers crimp edges.
7. Bake pie in a 375 degree for about 15 minutes.
