Ingredients
- For the gluten-free pastry:
- 150g Spigabuona Mix for Cakes
- 90g Organic butter
- 60g Organic cane sugar
- 1 Egg
- Vanilla to taste
- For the cream:
- 500g Milk
- 150g Yolks
- 150g Organic cane sugar
- 35g Rice flour
- 35g Rice starch
- Organic vanilla pod to taste
METHOD
For the pastry:
- In a bowl (or a planetary mixer), work the flour, cold butter and a pinch of salt into a mix with a sand-like consistency.
- Add the sugar and vanilla and mix.
- Add the egg and work quickly into a pastry, taking care not to let it get too warm.
- Cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge for at least an hour before use.
For the cream:
- Bring the milk to the boil in a pan, together with the vanilla pod.
- Separately, whisk the yolks with the sugar, the vanilla pulp, the flour and the rice starch.
- When the milk is approaching the boil, remove the pan from the heat and add the eggs beaten with the sugar, rice flour and rice starch.
- Return the pan to the heat and thicken the cream over a moderate heat, mixing delicately all the time with a whisk to prevent the formation of lumps, and bring to the boil.
- Once the cream has reached the desired consistency, place it in a covered food-safe container. with clingfilm touching it, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Composition:
- Prepare the base, using a rolling pin to roll out the pastry to a thickness of 5 mm. Use a pastry cutter to form rounds of about 10 cm in diameter. Bake at 180°C for 15/20 minutes in a static oven.
- Once the pastry has cooled, fill the tartlets with the confectioner’s cream prepared earlier, using a piping bag.
- Decorate with the peaches prepared earlier.
As you can see in the picture above, we’ve also prepared variants with kiwi and forest fruits, just like the finest gluten-free patisserie chefs. You can use your imagination to prepare all sorts of tartlets.
