Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a tart pan or small tartlet pans with butter or non-stick spray.
- Place the all-purpose white wheat flour, white rice flour, and almonds in a food processor. Pulse until the almonds are finely ground and well combined with the flours.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add a small amount of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together when pressed. Be careful not to add too much water.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared tart pan or divide it among the tartlet pans, pressing it evenly along the bottom and up the sides.
- Prick the bottom of the crusts with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
- Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and corn flour. Whisk in the orange juice and egg yolks until smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Stir in the light sour cream until well combined. Allow the orange curd to cool slightly.
- Spoon the cooled orange curd into the cooled tart shells, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachio nuts over the top of the tarts.
- Place the assembled tarts in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the curd to set.
- Once set, remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled.
Tips:
- When making the crust, ensure that the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor in your curd.
- Chill the orange curd in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let it set properly before filling the tart shells.
- Feel free to garnish the tarts with extra chopped pistachios or a light dusting of powdered sugar for added presentation.
