Description
The pastry dough is here used to blind bake a case for tarts and quiches, but it is also perfect for making single and double crust pies and tartes Tatin. If you get a few cracks and holes as you lift the pastry and line the tin, simply patch them up with excess pastry and glue together with a little water to seal.
Method
Step 1 of 6
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Sift the flour, xanthan, and salt into a bowl and mix. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture forms crumbs. Alternatively, you can do this by pulsing the mixture in a food processor.
Step 2 of 6
Add the egg and mix it in with a palette knife or round-bladed table knife. Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons cold water, a few drops at a time, mixing after each addition. Keep adding water and mixing until it just comes together to form a dough.
Step 3 of 6
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and briefly and lightly knead until smooth. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is about 5mm thick and large enough to fill the tin.
Step 4 of 6
Carefully wrap the pastry around the rolling pin, lift over the tin, and unroll the pastry. To line the tin, gently press the pastry into the base and sides, pressing it into the flutes if you are using a fluted tin. Trim the edges, repair any holes, and prick the base with a fork.
Step 5 of 6
Line the pastry with baking parchment and weigh down the parchment with ceramic baking beans (or you can use ordinary dried beans, such as haricots). Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Step 6 of 6
Remove the tart from the oven and carefully lift out the parchment and beans. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes to crisp up, then add the filling of your choice and bake as per recipe instructions.
