A crumbly base to fill with creams or fruit preserves, a dessert for all seasons and versatile to enjoy at breakfast with a cup of tea or a latte, at snack time with orange juice, or to serve as a dessert to deliciously conclude a meal! We have variations for every taste, such as the whole wheat one or without butter, and today we want to propose our gluten-free tart version, a small indulgence for all those following a gluten-free diet to enjoy without reservations.

Preparation

How to prepare Gluten-Free Tart

To make the gluten-free tart, start by placing the cold butter cut into pieces, the rice flour 1, the cornmeal 2, and the brown sugar 3 into the bowl of a food processor equipped with blades.

Flavor the dough with lemon zest 4, then add the egg yolks 5 and the whole egg 6.

Finally, add a pinch of salt 7, then start the food processor to obtain a homogeneous and soft mixture 8. Transfer it onto a slightly floured work surface and knead with your hands to compact it and form a dough ball 9. Wrap the dough ball with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 2 hours.

After the firming time has passed, take the shortcrust pastry and roll it out with a rolling pin on a slightly floured work surface 10, it should have a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Trim the edge with a knife 11 and then place the obtained sheet on a 9-inch diameter tart pan 12.

Make sure the shortcrust adheres well to the bottom and the sides, then cut away the excess edge (13-14). Fill the base with strawberry jam 15

and level the surface with the back of a spoon 16. Roll out the remaining shortcrust 17 to the same thickness and cut strips about 1/2 inch wide 18.

Place the strips of shortcrust pastry on the tart 19 first in one direction and then the other, crossing them to create a lattice pattern. Trim away the excess pastry strips with a small knife 20. Bake the gluten-free tart in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 30 minutes in the middle rack. Once baked, remove the dessert from the oven and let it cool slightly before removing it from the mold 21.

Storage

You can store the raw gluten-free shortcrust pastry in the refrigerator for a couple of days or you can freeze it.

Advice

As an alternative to lemon zest, you can use seeds from a vanilla bean or its extract to flavor the dough.
