Gluten free Hazelnut Shortbread Pastry

Hello, hello!

Today I will introduce a basic gluten free pastry recipe.

Here is my gluten free hazelnut shrotbread pastry.

So as I always say for gluten free recipes, I strongly recommend to read carefully the stickers on the products packaging that you buy to make the recipes. You have to be vigilant.

This gluten free hazelnut shortbread pastry will be perfect for tarts or for a delicious number cake. I used it for that matter actually. The good point being that the whipped ganaches (chocolate or vanilla) are gluten free too.

So for a good looking dessert, it’s a brilliant idea!

As far as taste is concerned, it’s really close to the gluten version. Really good! And honestly, since it only takes 5 minutes to make it, it would be a shame not to enjoy it!

Let’s do this!

The recipe, Chef!

Notes

If you make hazelnut cookies with this recipe or number cakes, spread your pastry, make your shapes and bake 13-15 minutes at 180 degrees. You can also make this recipe with almond powder. If your pastry is too crumbly, add one or two tablespoons of milk.

    Hi Emma, I just did a test-run of your recipe in preparation for making a cross shaped layered cream tart (like a number cake) for my daughter’s First Communion. It is delicious, but it spread out quite a bit when cooking, so lost the sharp edges I had cut. Is there a way to stop this from happening eg is ‘room temperature to oven’ or ‘fridge to oven’ better?
    I did it 6mm thick – is this too thick?
    Thanks so much!

      Hi Linda, it’s true that when cooking the sharp edges disappear. But you can use a grater to shape them again 😉 And firdge to oven is always the best way to cook a pastry ! 🙂

    Bonjour
    Après 2 essais, la pâte est très collante. J’ai essayé au thermomix et au kitchen aid. Cette texture arrive après avoir ajouté l’œuf. Une idée de que faire ??
    Merci ??

      Bonjour Ines,
      Cette pâte se travaille très froide, n’hésitez pas à la passer au congélateur qq minutes. Aussi, plus vous pétrissez la pâte plus elle va être collante. rajoutez un peu de farine si besoin
