Gluten-Free Tart Crust recipe is perfect for any filling you choose to place inside. Indeed, not only is it slightly sweet but the crumbly texture will make your desire more crust. The perfect crust for any pie or tart for the holidays. In all honesty, this crust contains some cream cheese for flakiness and taste. Furthermore, this crust is perfect for any pie or tart. It will soon become a family favorite. Gluten-Free Tart Crust

Tart Crust VS Pie Crust:

What is the difference between Tart Crust and Pie Crust? Pies have a smooth thinner crust while Tarts tend to have a thicker more crumbly texture. Pies are served in the same dish they are cooked in. Tarts, on the other hand, are taken out of their molds and served. Tart crust tends to be easier and quicker to make. Generally speaking, many pies have a top and bottom crust while a tart has a bottom crust. Both can be made sweet or savory.

Can I make a Pie using Tart Crust? The answer is yes. Moreover, this crust can be rolled thinner to give it more of a pie texture.

Gluten-Free Tart Crust:

Are you making Pecan Tarts for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Incidentally, last year I made Pecan Tarts for Thanksgiving. I already had pecan milk in my fridge that I made for my coffee. While I am not supposed to drink coffee I do occasionally have one during the holidays. Subsequently, I searched the internet for a recipe. I followed Kate’s recipe for pecan milk. Thanks, Kate for helping me create a new tart dough recipe. In conclusion, this crust is really flakey and crumbly. Not to mention, the texture is nice and slightly sweet.

I guess you know what tomorrow’s recipe is then. Use with my Pecan Filling. This makes six 4 inch tarts. If not using all the dough at once. Freeze the remaining dough. Bring to room temperate before rolling it out.

Needless to say, I will put up Swedish candelabras in my windows this year. The candelabra has 7 electric candles that I put on timers and go on when it gets dark. Did I mention, these candelabras are very popular in Sweden?

My Families Traditions:

Since Sweden is very close to the North Pole. Consequently, there are parts of the country that are dark almost all winter long and light almost all summer long. Not to mention, By the way, Sweden has a long history of putting candles in the windows. The lights seem to glisten off the snow and make them appear brighter. Every window in Sweden during the Christmas season has light streaming from them. Years ago it was also meant as a way to be hospitable to your neighbor and help everyone find their way home. Needless to say, you can not understand how beautiful seeing all these apartment houses with electric candelabras that resemble white candles (nowadays) glowing with white light beaming and reflecting their light off the beautiful white snow. It truly is a beautiful and calming sight to see.

Above all, I remember my mother putting the candelabras up and the advent candles. Christmastime is a time for reflection and a time of reminiscing. It is a time that we reflect on past Christmas’s from our youth and with friends and family who are no longer on this earth. These beautiful window lights remind me of my family in Sweden, my childhood, and the many memories I have created with my family. Whatever happens, I hope this is a tradition that my children will carry on. Nevertheless, I hope that when they have homes of their own that they will replay these memories that we are making at Christmas time.
