Place the loose base of the tart tin onto a clean work surface and then dust the top and the surroundings with a bit of flour.If not, continue straight to the next step. If the pastry seems too soft, flatten into a disk, wrap it in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.Turn onto a lightly floured surface and briefly work together in a smooth dough – you do not want to over-work the dough! Add in the beaten egg and briefly mix or blitz until the pastry starts coming together in a ball.Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and then either rub it in with your fingertips, or blitz in the food processor, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. To make the pastry, place the gluten-free flour, xantham gum powder and caster sugar into a small bowl or the bowl of a food processor.I don’t like to waste anything, and this recipe also makes enough pastry and crème pâtissière to make some mini tarts (see below) so you could always do that, too! I think the visual of this recipe is quite important, so just make sure you choose some nice fresh fruit and use it to decorate the top of the tart nicely. The French are also into their berry tarts, so you could also try using only strawberries or raspberries, or a mix of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I opted for a range of colourful, perhaps more tropical fruits in my below recipe: kiwi, mandarins, etc.

If you are not making this tart for people who are gluten-free, I would certainly recommend adapting this recipe and making “normal” shortcrust pastry and crème pâtissière. To thicken the vanilla crème pâtissière filling, you can use some more gluten-free flour and cornflour, which thankfully is naturally gluten-free!

#GLUTEN FREE FRUIT TART PATCH#
It’s not quite as good at holding together as non-gluten-free shortcrust, but you can always just patch up the sides of the tin if the pastry tears a little. This is available in most UK supermarkets, and adding only a teaspoon to the below shortcrust pastry recipe is enough to keep it together and okay to work with. A gluten-free “glue” you can use though, is xantham gum. Naturally, you will have to use gluten-free flour in your recipe, but because there is no gluten in it, it often won’t hold whatever you are trying to make together. Luckily, there are a few ways to make your life easier when it comes to gluten-free baking. But if you want to make something that everyone can enjoy, you sometimes have to go that extra mile. There is a reason why people try and avoid it. How to make this Summer Fruit Tart Gluten-Free
