Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt.
Cut in the shortening and butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles using a cookie cutter or bowl.
Fill with your desired filling, fold over, and crimp the edges with a fork.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
For a sweeter dough, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients. Serve warm and enjoy!
