Allergen Free Lemon Tart

I made these tarts for a birthday party for me and my sister-in-law, and they turned out great! No gluten, soy, egg, dairy or nuts. Lots of fresh fruit and tart-sweet lemon makes it a great summer treat. I served it with fresh whipped cream, for those who could have it. I made this up entirely from scratch, so it may need a little more or a little less flour...add it a bit at a time until it's the consistency of cookie dough. The shell is slightly chewy and a cross between a cookie and a pie crust.

Ingredients:

1 cup non-soy, non-dairy margarine

2 cups fructose or sugar

1 cup rice flour

1 cup tapioca flour

1 tsp. xanthan gum

2 tbsp. lemon zest

2 tsp. lemon extract

2 tsp. poppy seeds

Cream sugar and butter. Mix dry ingredients and add a little at a time until your dough is a cookie dough consistency. Add lemon zest, extract, and poppy seeds and blend well. Spread into 2 tart pans, pressing into the pans so that there is a raised rim around the tarts, and cook at 350 for 20 minutes or until set and slightly brown around the edges. Take out of oven, let cool.

Topping:

1 can lemon filling or one jar lemon curd (check for allergens)

Fresh fruit: I used strawberries, gold kiwi, kiwi, mango, blueberries and kumquats.

Whipped cream (optional)

Put it Together:

Once the tart is cool, spread the lemon curd or topping over each shell. Arrange the fruit in a pattern around each tart. I started about an inch in from the edge of the tarts with mango slices, and then arranged the rest in concentric rows. Thinly sliced kumquats really added to this recipe...they are sweet/sour and complement the lemon flavor.

OH MY GOSH!!! I just went to your blog to see the pics... Can I just say YUM?! I'm drooling over the pictures!!! Makes me want to immediately run out and buy a tart pan so I can try this!

I also saw the pic of the boy (your son, I assume?) with the Coke can... gave me an out-loud guffaw. :P I needed that tonight.

LOL thanks! Hey, you could make the tart in a pie pan if you wanted to, I don't think there would be any difference. Or better yet if you have a spring form pan (like for a cheese cake) you could bake the shell in that, and then take it out and decorate it.

Yeah, that's my boy....he looks like such a wild man in that photo! Coke is terrible for acid reflux and I am certain that he suffered for it later on, but as you can see he enjoyed it while it lasted!

ok so i made Lemon Bars the other day using a recipe from "Barefoot Contessa" on the food network, but adapting it to be gluten free. For each cup of flour in the recipe, i substituted a gluten free mix (1.5c brown rice flour, 1.5c potato starch, 1c tapioca flour). The only thing I would have done differently is to add 1 tsp of xanthan gum to the lemon filling as it was not as firm as i would have liked it to be. with that being said, these things were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

here's the recipe:

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
