Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Shortbread Lemon Tarts

I've named these delightful little tarts Shortbread Lemon Tarts because the crust is short and crumbly. They are wonderfully good and have been named "the best thing you've ever made" by my children. Try them and see what you think!

Ingredients
1 cup oat flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 T cold water
1 jar Dickinson's Lemon Curd

Directions
Mix flours, sugar, coconut oil, and water with a pastry blender. Place rounded tablespoonfuls of pastry in muffin pans. Press to bottom and sides to form small crusts.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Insert a blunt knife between pan and crusts. Crust should lift easily from pan. Place on serving plate.

Fill each crust with a rounded teaspoonful of lemon curd. Garnish with a sliver of lemon including peel.
