Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice flour
- 100 grams Butter
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and prepare a tartlet pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Add cold butter, diced into small cubes, to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until the ingredients come together to form a smooth dough. Avoid over-kneading.
Step 5
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3-4 mm thickness.
Step 7
Cut out circles slightly larger than the tartlet molds and gently press the dough into each mold, trimming any excess around the edges.
Step 8
Use a fork to prick the base of each tart to prevent puffing during baking.
Step 9
Place the tartlets in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool before adding your desired filling (e.g., custard, lemon curd, chocolate ganache, or fruit).
