Gluten-Free Bake Off - Week 3

So far on the Great British Bake Off the contestant have wowed us (sometimes) with breads and upside down cakes. This week GBBO is teasing us with tarts. Tarte Tatin and treacle tart with a lattice top. As ever, Genius have provided you with gluten-free recipes so that no one is left without.
The success of these two recipes lies in the pastry and the timing. The techniques behind them are both relatively similar. Once you've got these cracked you can change the filling fairly easily. For example you could use apple, pear, peach or even pineapple for your Tarte Tatin though you'll need to think about altering the cooking times to suit the fruit. Take inspiration from GBBO- do something different!
The first thing you'll need is pastry- both can be made with sweet short crust pastry. Use our gluten-free pastry recipe here. If you plan to add the lattice top to your treacle tart, click here for a great video showing how, giving you an easier option if the proper latice looks a bit tough!If you prefer tarte tatin with gluten-free puff pastry it's a tough task. There aren't yet any gluten-free puff pastry products available in supermarkets in the UK, and making puff pastry is a bit of a mission! The best, most honest guide we've found is from the lovely blog Gluten Free Girl and the Chef. You can find their puff pastry recipe here. Be warned- it's not easy!
So with your pastry ready, you can then start thinking about your recipes...
