1/2cuppotato starch
1/4cupwhite rice flour
2tablespoonssugar
1teaspoonxanthan gum
1/2teaspoonkosher salt

2 to 4tablespoonsice water
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, potato starch, white rice flour, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour, breaking it up until no large chunks remain.
Using a fork, mix the dough while gradually adding the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moist enough to start to form a ball. Work the dough with your hands until it comes together into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes before use. If the dough is too crumbly when you roll it out, knead in 1 to 2 more teaspoons of ice water.
