Gluten free jam tart is made with rice flour and extra virgin olive oil and therefore naturally gluten-free and lactose-free.
Extra virgin olive oil can be replaced with any vegetable oil in the same quantities. It is a very simple recipe that is prepared with a few ingredients that we have in the pantry. Xanthan gum helps to bind all the ingredients better and when rolling out the shortcrust pastry, but if you don’t have it available, you can omit it. Furthermore, this shortcrust pastry is very versatile, it can be used for any tart with cooking filling, or as a plain baked base, but also for various biscuits.

For the shortcrust pastry with extra virgin olive oil

1¹/₄ cup rice flour

5 tablespoons potato starch

¹/₂ cup sugar

1 egg

1 yolk

1 pinch salt

Steps

In a bowl, beat the egg, the egg yolk with the sugar and vanilla extract. Add the oil and mix well until you obtain a smooth cream. Sift the flour with the starch, baking powder and xanthan gum. Add gradually and knead. If necessary, reduce or increase the flour, as it depends on absorption. Form a loaf and roll it out on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a 8.6″( 22cm) tart pan. Fill with the chosen jam. Cook at 356°F (180°C) for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before removing from the mold.
