Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).

  2. Pulse butter and salt in a food processor until combined and smooth.

  3. Add egg, water, almond meal, and gluten-free all-purpose flour mix; pulse until smooth.

  4. Incorporate buckwheat (or sorghum) flour, pulsing until a ball of dough forms.

  5. Scrape the dough onto floured waxed paper, dust lightly, and shape into a disk.

  6. Wrap the dough in waxed paper and chill for at least 1 hour until firm; alternatively, freeze for up to two months.

  7. Roll the chilled dough between two sheets of lightly floured waxed paper.

  8. Remove the top paper, then invert the dough with the bottom paper onto a tart pan or pie plate.

  9. Carefully peel off the paper and press the dough into the pan, patching any tears; trim excess dough if using a tart pan.

  10. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
