Gluten-free buckwheat shortcrust pastry is a simple alternative for making all your sweet and savory tarts. It has a slightly rustic flavor but is ideal for quiches and even fig tarte tatin. I found it easy to work with and roll out. Furthermore, buckwheat, being naturally gluten-free, is also rich in fiber and nutrients. Its slightly dark color gives it a rustic charm. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced baker, you'll be able to make this pastry without difficulty. You only need a few simple ingredients, often already in your cupboards. I added psyllium husk for extra binding, but that's optional. With a little olive oil or butter, it maintains a good balance between crisp and tender. You'll be surprised by its versatility and simplicity.
Mix the flours, psyllium and salt in a bowl.
Incorporate the egg then gradually pour in the cold water until you obtain a soft ball.
Spread it on parchment paper or a floured surface (with gluten-free flour) and garnish as desired.
