- 100 g of potato starch
- 4 g guar gum
- 100 g of powder sugar
- 110 g of sunflower oil
- 1 egg
- 2 yolks
- 1 organic lemon zest
- 4 g baking powder
- For the cream
- 500 g rice milk
- 3 yolks
- 100 g of sugar
- 5 mint leaves

PROCEDURE
Place the flour and guar gum in a heap on the work surface and mix everything together with a spoon; put the sugar and sunflower oil, rice drink, baking powder and lemon peel in the centre.
Mix everything well, incorporating as you go. Knead gently to obtain a homogeneous mixture and let it rest for about 40 minutes in the refrigerator wrapped in cling film.
In the meantime, pour the rice drink with 5 mint leaves in the infusionin a saucepan and bring it to 65 degrees Celsius with the help of a probe thermometer; beat the egg yolks in a bowl with the remaining sugar, add the starch and continue to work until frothy.
Pour in the hot rice drink, stirring continuously with a beater whisk and mix everything well. Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan, put on the heat and bring to the boil. Allow to rest in a bowl for at least 1 hour.
Take the shortcrust pastry from the fridge and roll it out to a thickness of 4 mm, place it in a rectangular baking dish lined with baking paper, pour in the cream and roll out the remaining shortcrust pastry with a rolling pin to form strips and place them on top of the cream, creating a grid.
Bake the pastry in a hot oven at 180° for 20-25 minutes, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
