Gluten Free Tart Dough is a recipe from local Ottawa pastry chef Elina Olefirenko.
We gifted her a bag of Peetz S.M.A.R.T (Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, brown Rice, Tapioca) Blend. Then, for New Year’s Eve, she made some delicious lemon tarts for her Winter Wonderland backyard party.
This is the perfect tart dough anytime you need a dessert that it gluten free. It is also study enough to support any kind of filling.
Once baked the tarts hold up for hours. If of course, you don’t eat every last one by then!
