GLUTEN-FREE DESSERT PASTRY

I worked with many different combinations of flours before settling on this one. I love the flavor of the oat flour, but it is so fine that when I tried using all oat flour the pastry crumbled much too easily. So I combined it with corn flour, which is finely ground cornmeal; Bob's Red Mill produces the version I used. Millet flour will also work, but it has a chalkier flavor. The almond flour absorbs moisture and helps hold the dough together. The dough will crack if you roll it out cold, so I roll it between pieces of plastic before I chill it. Then I remove it from the refrigerator and let it soften just enough so that I can line the tart pans without it cracking.

Time 30m

Yield 2 9-inch crusts

Number Of Ingredients 8

160 grams (approximately 1 1/4 cups) corn flour or finely ground cornmeal
150 grams (approximately 1 1/3 cups) oat flour (make sure it is from a gluten-free facility)
168 grams (6 ounces) butter, preferably French style Plugrà
4 grams (1/2 teaspoon) fine sea salt
50 grams (approximately 1/4 rounded cup) sugar
40 grams (approximately 1/3 rounded cup) almond flour
9 grams (approximately 2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
63 grams egg (approximately 1 extra large plus 2 teaspoons), beaten

Steps:

  • Sift together the corn flour and the oat flour. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a rubber spatula, cream the butter and salt on medium speed for about 1 minute, taking care not to whip. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle with a rubber spatula and add the sugar. Combine with the butter at low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle.
  • Add the almond flour and vanilla extract and combine at low speed.
  • Gradually add the egg and one fourth of the flour mixture. Beat at low speed until just incorporated. Stop the machine and scrape down the bowl and the paddle.
  • Gradually add the remaining flour and mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Scrape the dough out of the bowl, weigh it and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Place each piece between sheets of plastic wrap and gently roll out to a 10-1/2 inch circle. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 1 hour or (preferably) longer.
  • Very lightly butter a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish (depending on the recipe you'll be using this for). You should not be able to see the butter. Remove one sheet of dough from the refrigerator, and if it is very stiff set it out for about 5 minutes, until it's pliable. Ease the dough into 9-inch tart pan or pie dish. If the dough cracks, just pinch the cracked edges together. You do not have to worry with gluten-free dough about over working and stiffening the pastry, but try not to press the dough thinner in some places than in others.

Tips for Making Perfect Gluten-Free Dessert Pastries:

  • Use high-quality gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. Some are more absorbent than others, so it's important to find one that works well for your recipes. A good all-purpose gluten-free flour blend will contain a combination of flours, such as almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. Gluten-free baking is more precise than traditional baking, so it's important to measure your ingredients carefully. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients, if possible.
  • Don't overmix your batter or dough. Overmixing can make your pastries tough and dry. Mix your ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill your dough before baking. Chilling your dough will help it to keep its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake your pastries at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to follow the recipe instructions carefully.
  • Don't overbake your pastries. Overbaking can make your pastries dry and crumbly. Check your pastries a few minutes before the end of the baking time to make sure they are done.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you can master the art of gluten-free dessert pastry baking. These delicious recipes are a great place to start. So preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
