Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups gluten-free rice flour
- 1/3 cup gluten-free potato starch
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 pinch gluten-free baking powder
- 1 tsp xanthan gum (gluten-free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ricotta (almond)

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lemon (grated zest)
Tools
- 2 Bowls
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Baking Pan
Steps
In a bowl, beat the egg, yolk with sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the oil and mix well until you get a smooth cream.
Sift the flour with the starch, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Add gradually and knead. If necessary, decrease or increase the flour, as it depends on absorption.
Form a dough ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature while preparing the filling.
In a bowl, beat eggs with sugar and flavorings.
As soon as the mixture is light and foamy, add almond ricotta and mix well with the whisk.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch, transfer to a 9-inch tart pan.
Prick the bottom with a fork. Pour the filling.
With the leftover shortcrust pastry, prepare strips and decorate the top of the tart.
Bake at 340°F for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Dust with powdered sugar.
WARNING: consult the Italian Celiac Association’s handbook and carefully read the ingredients to ensure they are free from gluten contamination.
