Fig Jam Tart

This Fig Jam Tart is a delightful Lebanese dessert that combines the natural sweetness of figs with a buttery, gluten-free crust. It's perfect for a cozy afternoon treat or a special occasion.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 100g
• Unsalted butter - 50g, melted
• Sugar - 30g
• Egg - 1 large
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a small tart pan (approximately 15 cm in diameter) evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
