Gluten Free Rustic Blackberry Tart Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE RUSTIC BLACKBERRY TART

Steps:

• For the crust:
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour,salt, and xanthan gum.
• With a pastry knife (or a knife and fork), cut butter into flour until butter is the size of small peas.
• Add milk and combine. Add additional milk if needed. You may need to use your hands to work the milk into the dough.
• Dough should be moist and easy to roll.
• Roll dough out on a gluten-free floured surface with a rolling pin until approximately 10-inches in diameter. Alternatively, roll dough between two pieces of parchment paper.
• Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet that has an edge that's at least 1/2" high. Having a baking sheet with an edge will prevent the juices from running into your oven and burning.
• For the filling:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, flour and lemon juice; spoon over pastry to within 2 -3 inches of edge to leave room for folding.
• Fold pie crust edge over the filling, leaving the center uncovered.
• Brush the folded part of the pie crust with beaten egg then sprinkle the edges with turbinado sugar.
• Bake 50-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

SALLY'S FRESH BLACKBERRY TART

Steps:

• For Crust: In large mixing bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt together. Rub the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Add the ice water and gently knead until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and form in flat disc about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to an even thickness, round shape. Place dough round in a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold any edges inside, forming a thicker crust. Leave the dough a bit longer than the edges of the tart pan to allow for shrinking during cooking. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or foil. Pour in the beans, filling to the edges. Bake about 20 minutes, or until bottom begins to look cooked. Let cool. Remove the beans and foil.
• For Tart: Toss the berries with the flour, salt, sugar, butter, and lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in the brown sugar. Place the fruit in a saute pan over medium heat and cook just until a sauce is formed. Place the fruit in the baked crust and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit bubbles and juice thickens.
• Remove from oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.

RUSTIC HARVEST FRUIT TART

Steps:

• The morning before you want to make the tart, remember to put the butter in the freezer - try wrapping it in foil first (it will keep it colder when you hold it to grate later).
• To make the pastry, mix the flour in a big bowl with a good pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of the sugar. Using a coarse cheese grater, grate in the butter, trying to hold it as little as possible so that it doesn't warm up too much, and stirring it in with a cutlery knife as you go. When all the butter is in, give it a final good stir with the knife to make sure all strands of butter are coated in the flour, then quickly stir in 150-175ml of very cold water. Lightly bring the pastry together with your hands, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins.
• Layer all the fruit in another bowl, sprinkling over the sugar and cornflour as you go. Add the orange zest and give everything a light mix. Set aside until your pastry is ready.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking sheet in it. Lightly dust another baking sheet with flour and roll out the pastry onto it in a rough circle until the pastry is about 0.5cm thick. If you want, use a small, sharp knife to cut a pattern around the edge of the pastry.
• Give the fruit another mix, then pile into the middle of the pastry, leaving a 7cm border of clear pastry all around the edge. Fold the pastry border up and over the fruit filling, pinching bits together to keep it neat and in place. Whisk the egg white until very frothy. Using a pastry brush, brush the froth all over the pastry. Dredge over the remaining granulated sugar, and sprinkle a little more over the fruit. Lift onto the heated sheet and bake for 35 mins until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Serve straight from the oven with lashings of custard or, if you're feeling really wicked, some Cornish clotted cream.
