Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 150 grams Butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Whisk together the egg, honey, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Step 5
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently mix with a fork until combined.
Step 6
Add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together into a ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 7
Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 8
Sprinkle the rolled dough with the sesame seeds and gently press them so they stick to the surface.
Step 9
Using a pastry cutter or a knife, cut the dough into squares or shapes of your choice and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Step 11
Allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack before serving.
