Method
-
step 1
Put the flours, icing sugar and butter cubes into a food processor and pulse until you can’t see any lumps of butter.
-
step 2
Pulse in the cinnamon and xanthum gum, then add the egg yolk plus 1 tbsp of water. Pulse again until the pastry starts to clump together into a ball – if it’s still too dry to do this, pulse in another tsp of cold water at a time.
-
step 3
Tip the dough out and shape into a disc, then wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
-
step 4
Lightly brush 15 holes of regular muffin tins with oil (you can make it in two batches if you just have one 12-hole tin). Use as little extra flour as you can to roll out the pastry. Knead the pastry a little first so it can roll – it’s much more forgiving that way. Roll out
the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin, then use a 9-10cm round cutter to cut out 15 circles in total – you can re-roll the trimmings as much as you like as there’s no gluten to toughen the pastry. -
step 5
Push each circle into a hole to line the base and sides, then pop back in the fridge to chill for another 30 minutes.
Cook's note: We used Doves Farm gluten-free flour, available from dovesfarm.co.uk or ocado.com
