Ingredients

    Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour - per 1/4 Cup, 8 serving
    Butter, salted, 4 tbsp
    Egg white, large, 2 serving
    Salt, 1 tsp

Tips

Suggested Use: Making Miniature Tart Shells
For miniature tarts, use a 2" biscuit cutter to cut circles into the dough. Put a miniature cupcake paper into each well of a miniature cupcake pan.
Take each dough circle and carefully press it into a paper cup. This is easier if you use a Mini Tart Shaper.
If the dough breaks, just add a bits of dough into the holes and press again with the tart shaper.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 5-6 minutes or until edges are golden.
These mini tart crusts are fantastic when used as a base for low carb appetizers.


Directions

Place the almond flour in a medium mixing bowl and add the butter. Mix well.
Add the eggs and salt and mix throughly. The dough should come together, and pull away from the sides of the bowl and start to make a ball as you mix it. If it still seems sticky, add a little more almond flour and keep mixing until you get to a dough consistency that can be rolled out.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper.
Using a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 10" x 16" rectangle or 14" round with about a 1/4 inch thickness.
Place into a pie plate deep enough for your filling.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 5-6 minutes or until edges are golden.
