The rice flour tart is a dessert that can be filled in many different ways besides classic jam. Excellent with a custard filling, as a base for fruit tarts or modern tarts. This rice flour tart is naturally gluten-free using certified ingredients. Moreover, butter can be replaced with margarine in the same quantities to make it also lactose-free.
