Gluten-Free
Dessert
1 tsp
Avocado Oil Spray
(or enough for the whole tin)
1 cup
Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
(150g)
9 Tbsp
Unsalted Butter
(1/4 cup for filling, 1/3 cup for dough)
1 tsp
Organic Cane Sugar
1/4 cup
Water
1/3 cup
Maple Syrup
1/2 cup
Coconut Sugar
1 Tbsp
Vanilla Extract
2
Large Eggs
whisked
1/2 cup
Raisins
optional
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a muffin tin with avocado oil.
2
Add the flour, ⅓ cup of butter, the cane sugar and water to a food processor and process. Slowly add ¼ cup of water while the machine is running until a dough forms. Flatten it into a disk with your hands and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
3
Once ready to bake, remove the crust from the fridge, place it on parchment paper and roll out evenly until it is about ¼-inch thick. Lightly flour the dough to avoid sticking. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter to cut circles into the crust to make 6 tarts. Place the circles into the muffin tin, folding the edges as needed. Refrigerate for 15 minutes while you make the filling.
4
Add the remaining butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract to a small saucepan on low-medium heat. Whisk well and remove from the heat when well combined. Slowly add the eggs while whisking vigorously to ensure the eggs do not scramble. Pour the filling into the tarts evenly and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the filling has slightly puffed up and the tarts are starting to brown lightly. Once you remove the butter tarts from the oven, use a thin metal offset spatula to loosen the edges of the tarts to ensure easy removal. Allow to cool completely before removing from the muffin tin. Enjoy!
