Gluten-Free Tart Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, cut chilled butter into bread mix until pea sized pieces are formed. Slowly add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Form into ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes. Divide dough into 15 pieces (about 25 grams each). Press each piece of dough evenly into 2-inch wide by 3/8-inch high mini tart cups. Prick bottom of each with fork and bake until golden brown; 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Raisin Filling

In medium bowl, combine raisins, sunflower kernels, orange peel and cinnamon; drizzle with honey and mix thoroughly. Divide and spoon mixture into each of 15 tart shells. Bake at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds while still hot. Cool; garnish with orange peel curls and serve.

Note: Pamela’s™ Gluten-Free Bread Mix preferred.
