Cassava Shortbread Crust

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.

Step 2

Combine cassava flour, butter and sea salt together in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Rub the butter into the flour with fingertips until the pastry comes together into a dough. The dough should come together without the addition of liquid. If it's too dry, add a bit more butter.

Step 4

With clean hands, roll walnut size balls and place each ball into each muffin cup.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the muffin cup. Poke each crust with a fork a couple of times before putting them into the oven.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. The crust will harden as it cools. Allow to chill for 30 minutes before assembling.
