1 tsp icing sugar
¼ tsp FREEE Xanthan Gum
pinch of salt
50g butter, softened
1 egg
1-2 tsp water
4 tbsp jam

Rub some butter around the inside of a 12-hole tart tray and pre-heat the oven.
Put the flour, icing sugar and xanthan gum into a bowl, stir to combine then sieve this into a mixing bowl.
Add the butter and using a fork or pastry blender work them together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the egg and start to bring together a pastry dough. Add a teaspoon or two of water if needed to make a slightly sticky dough.
Cover and leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
Dust the work surface with flour, put the pastry in the middle and sprinkle it with more flour.
Roll out the dough to the thickness of a pound coin.
Using a round pastry cutter or cup slightly larger than the tart holes to cut out pastry circles.
Transfer the dough circles to the prepared tart tray.
Put a teaspoon of jam into each tart, taking care not to overfill them or the jam will over flow during cooking.
