Pamela's Amazing Pie Crust

1 bag (3-1/2 cups) Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix (do not use the yeast packet)
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup ice water

Pour Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix into a bowl. Cut butter through flour mixture using two knives, until mixture resembles small pea sized shapes. Add oil, mix with fork, then slowly add ice water until dough comes together, not sticky. Add 1 teaspoon additional water if too dry. Roll out half of the dough between two sheets of parchment or wax paper. Peel the top paper off the dough and invert into a pie dish. Peel off the second sheet of paper, arrange the dough, and fix the crust edge.

Bake unfilled in a 325° oven on bottom rack for 35 minutes. Or, bake filled with your favorite filling by following pie recipe directions.

Recipe makes two 9" pie crusts.
