Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 None Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough begins to hold together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill slightly.

Step 6

While the dough is chilling, prepare the egg wash by beating together the egg and milk in a small bowl.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash using a pastry brush to ensure even browning.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.

Step 11

While the pastries are baking, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted.

Step 12

Once the pastries are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 13

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each pastry using a spoon or a piping bag.

Step 14

Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free chocolate drizzled pastries warm or at room temperature.
