If you’re looking for a small batch gluten free puff pastry, this recipe is perfect to use as a base for up to 12-inch round pans or about 4 Danish pastries. When baked in a 9-1/2-inch springform pan, it will shrink about 1-1/2 inches. This small batch recipe is one-quarter of the recipe that you will find here. In addition, I’ve added a new ingredient substitute that will help prevent sogginess in cakes where this pastry is used as a base. This is especially useful for desserts filled with custard. I’m using this as a base to make a St. Honore cake like the famous bakery, Victoria Pastry Company, makes in San Francisco. Enjoy!
A small batch gluten free puff pastry recipe for your small family or one dessert event. It's buttery, flavorful and flaky when baked long enough.

Tips
*Scant = a little less than.
When rolling the dough out to make your recipe, be sure to use plenty of cornstarch or potato starch. Cornstarch makes things crisper than potato starch. Therefore, judge which one to use depending upon your desired effect.
Using a marble rolling pin helps keep the dough chilled and prevents it from softening quickly. You’ll need a heavy rolling pin no matter which type you use.
Prior to folding the dough, dust away any excess starch using a basting brush. Otherwise, the dough will not stick together well.
It is helpful to use the silicon mat or plastic wrap to help you fold over the dough. Also use the mat or plastic wrap to transfer the dough to the refrigerator. You can place it on a baking sheet and then refrigerate.
You will notice each time you roll out the dough, it becomes smoother and less puffy.
Refrigeration dries out dough. Freezing and defrosting at room temperature is best if you need to store it. However, refrigeration is sometimes necessary. If your dough dries out too much, pat it lightly with water and dust with potato starch prior to rolling.

Hi Debra.
Sorry. That’s supposed to be 2-1/4 teaspoons as listed in the ingredients list.
Thank you! I am excited to make this :) !
Glad to to hear it and you are very welcome.
I have only used the recipe as a cake base, but I think it would be the perfect amount for appetizers for two.
