Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 3 cups Frozen mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar for filling
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 unit Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen mixed berries, cornstarch, granulated sugar for filling, and lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the rolled dough into circles large enough to cover your desired baking dish or dishes, leaving some overhang.
Place the dough into the dish(es), fill with the berry mixture, and fold the edges over the filling.
Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
