Lunch: Cranberry-Walnut Tart Recipe | MyRecipes

Recipe by Robert Landolphi This tart has a great basic gluten-free crust. The white rice flour and tapioca flour have a neutral taste that allows the flavor of the butter to stand out, while the shortening ensures flakiness. Fresh cranberries and walnuts

Ingredients

6.5 ounces white rice flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
4.2 ounces tapioca flour (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
9 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk

Gently press mixture into a 4-inch circle on 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap that overlap; cover with additional overlapping plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 °.
Roll dough, still covered, into a 13-inch circle Fit dough, plastic wrap side up, into a 10-inch removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray. Remove remaining plastic wrap.
