Hey there! I've been experimenting with gluten-free baking, but I can't seem to get my pie crust quite right—it keeps turning out too hard. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd love to know your tips for achieving that perfect flaky texture!

Your gluten-free pie crust might be too hard because you’re probably overworking the dough or using too much liquid. Try chilling the dough and handling it less to keep it tender and flaky. Good luck!
