| 1. To make the pastry: | 2. Preheat oven to 180°C. | 3. Grease mini half muffin tins and line a small baking tray with parchment paper. | 4. Sift together flours, xanthan and salt in to a mixing bowl. | 5. In your food processor cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and well combined. | 6. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and lemon zest until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. | 7. Add in a tablespoon of water at a time - just enough to create a soft workable dough. | 8. Knead this dough with a bit of rice flour until workable. | 9. Wrap the ball of dough in some plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about half an hour. | 10. To make the filling: | 11. Place all ingredients in the food processor with the chopping blade and puree until smooth. | 12. Adjust spices and sweetener to taste and then allow to sit. | 13. Makes 2 cups. | 14. To assemble: | 15. Roll out the dough between two pieces of baking paper. | 16. Cut bottom cases out with a cookie cutter and place those shells in the mini muffin holes. | 17. Then cut the top stars with a tiny star cutter and place those on the baking tray. | 18. Bake the cases in the oven for about 10 minutes or until just browned. | 19. The stars will only take about 5 minutes. | 20. Fill each case with filling and then top with a star. | 21. Bake for another 5 minutes and then allow to cool. | 22.
