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.

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 a gluten-free flour blend. There are many different gluten-free flour blends available, so be sure to choose one that is specifically designed for baking pastries.
- Add a little xanthan gum or guar gum. These gums help to bind gluten-free flours together and create a more cohesive dough or batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough or batter. Overmixing can make gluten-free pastries tough and dense.
- Use a little extra fat. Gluten-free pastries can be dry, so adding a little extra fat, such as butter, oil, or cream, can help to keep them moist and tender.
- Bake the pastries at a slightly lower temperature than you would a traditional pastry. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
Gluten-free dessert pastries can be just as delicious and satisfying as traditional pastries, as long as you take a few extra precautions. By following these tips, you can create gluten-free pastries that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, don't be afraid to give gluten-free baking a try!
