Gluten Free Jam Tarts

Back to all recipes.
Jam tarts are a popular favourite but the pastry isn't always easy to master when it comes to gluten free. Once you have the pastry down you can fill those cases with whichever jam you prefer for fabulous jammy tarts! Our top tip is to use egg in the pastry, it keeps it that bit softer, so it doesn't got rock solid so fast.
