Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with butter.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg and vanilla extract together. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the flour and butter mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
-
Use your hands to gently knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. If the dough is too dry, add a little cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
-
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Press each portion into the bottom and sides of a muffin cup, forming a small tart shell.
-
Spoon a teaspoon of your favorite jam or preserves into each tart shell, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake the jam tarts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the jam is bubbling.
-
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the tarts are cooled, you can dust them with powdered sugar for a decorative finish, if desired.
