Method

  1. To make the pastry, measure and sieve the flour and xanthan gum into a bowl, then rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the eggs, and mix to form a soft dough.
  2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface and then line your mini flan tins with it. Leave it in the fridge to chill for 30 mins.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 5.
  4. Line the raw pastry case with baking parchment and baking beans, then blind bake the pastry case for 20 mins. Remove the beans and baking parchment.
  5. Add the filling of your choice.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
