Sweet Gluten Free Pastry Recipe

My sweet gluten free pastry recipe is a lovely crumbly biscuit recipe.

You can use it to make individual biscuits or for other pastry recipes.

Check out my fig rolls recipe which uses my sweet gluten free pastry.

Ingredients for Sweet Gluten Free Pastry Recipe Recipe
3oz Sunflower margarine
1oz Fine cornmeal flour (fine polenta)
1oz Light brown muscovado sugar
4oz Rice flour
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
1/2 Tbsp Rapseseed oil or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp Baking powder
2 heaped tsp Cornflour (corn starch)
3oz ground almonds

How to make Gluten Free Sweet Pastry

Place all ingredients except sugar and butter into a mixer and mix well.

Add sugar and margarine and blend into a crumbly texture, you can do this by rubbing the mixture together using your fingers tips alternatively.

Add very tiny amounts of water and pulsate the blender little by little until it all clumps together.

Do not pour water in or use large amounts of water or it will turn into a cake batter not a pastry dough.

Roll pastry into a dough ball and cover with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for 30 minutes-2 hours.

Roll out and use for biscuits cookies and pastry.

Because only a small amount of xanthan gum is used in this recipe it may be necessary to use your finger tips to help with the rolling out process.

Gluten Free Jam Tart Recipe

Jam tarts are a comfort food, they are so easy to bake and ultimately tasty.

For my jam tart recipe I used my delicious sweet gluten free pastry and strawberry jam. Traditionally short crust pastry is used to make jam tarts.

The pastry is sweet crunchy and so very more-ish with a sticky jam centre; delicious.

How to Make Jeenas Gluten Free Jam Tarts

Roll out some of the sweet gluten free pastry 1-2 cm thick.

Use a medium crinkled biscuit cutter to cut circles from the pastry.

Grease and flour a jam tart tray or a fairy cake oven tray.

Place the circles of sweet pastry onto the tray.

Take a teaspoon and carefully place approximately one teaspoon of jam into the middle of each pastry case.

Do not over fill the pastry case with jam because the jam melts and spreads in the oven.

Place into a hot oven at 180C for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
