  • 50g Doves Farm Organic Coconut Flour
  • 50g ground almonds
  • pinch of salt
  • 50g butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • butter, for dish
  • ground almonds, for dusting
  1. Pre-heat the oven.
  2. Rub a little butter around the inside of a 20cm/8” round quiche or tart dish.
  3. Put the flour, ground almonds and salt into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or fork, mash it into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  5. Break the egg into a small bowl, add the lemon juice and beat together.

  10. Roll out the pastry into a circle 5cm/2” larger than your dish and, using the parchment for support, transfer the pastry to the prepared tart dish and gently press it into place. OR simply press the pastry into the baking dish using your fingers.
  11. Remove the parchment and pinch the pastry to seal any cracks or gaps that appear.
  12. Cut away any pastry that hangs over the edge of your dish.

Took a risk as no reviews- so glad I tried this recipe. I had some coconut flour to use up, and I wasn’t disappointed. The pastry was fairly easy to make, and came out crispy round the edges and just cooked on the bottom of a frangipani tart. It beats ready made pastry for price, and convenience, and the coconut texture was not too noticeable if you’re not a fan of coconut flour. Thanks.
