HOW TO MAKE Delicious Gluten-Free Pastries

Ingredients :

• Almond flour
• Coconut flour
• Rice flour
• Cassava flour
• Sorghum flour
• Xanthan gum
• Psyllium husk
• Dairy-free butter substitute
• Raw sugar
• Egg replacements

 

 

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
   Start by measuring your flours: almond, coconut, rice, cassava, and sorghum. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Add in xanthan gum and psyllium husk too. Stir these dry ingredients well to mix them.
2. Mix wet ingredients until well blended.
   In a separate bowl, mix your dairy-free butter substitute and raw sugar. If you are using an egg replacement, add that in as well. Whisk the wet ingredients together until they are smooth and creamy.
3. Gradually add wet to dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
   Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir as you combine, making sure everything merges together. You want a dough that sticks but is not too sticky.
4. Shape into desired pastry forms, like muffins or tarts.
   Take small portions of the dough and shape them into circles for tarts or fill muffin tins for muffins. You can create any form you like.
5. Bake according to specific recipe instructions, adjusting for gluten-free baking techniques.
   Preheat your oven as directed in your recipe. Bake the pastries until they are golden and cooked through. Keep an eye on them so they do not burn, as gluten-free treats can bake a bit differently.

HOW TO SERVE Delicious Gluten-Free Pastries

Once the pastries are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm for the best experience. You can add toppings like fresh fruit, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of dairy-free icing. They are wonderful on their own, too!
