This recipe for Gluten Free Danish Treacle Tarts is one I made up as I went along, as with lots of my bakes I see an ingredient and it develops into something new.

This one began its life as a loaf of unsliced Warburtons GF Bread (please note this has egg whites in it, you’ll need an egg free version to make this vegan), I’d bought two as they were reduced in Sainsbury’s and the second had gone in the freezer.

This recipe came about because I forgot to pre-slice the loaf before I froze it and disaster ensued when I wanted to cut a slice! I now had a loaf only good enough to be breadcrumbs and the rest is …this recipe!

Danish Treacle Tart Pastries; gluten free and vegan too

What’s the best gluten free puff pastry for this recipe?

I had a roll of Jus-Rol Gluten Free Puff Pastry in the fridge that I’d not decide what I was going to do with it yet and then somehow I came to the conclusion; Danish Treacle Tarts. I was a bit worried about how this would turn out, I am….was….a huge fan of Danish pastries but gluten free pastry has a bad reputation. This recipe had a lot to live up to. I’m pleased to report that it was a great success and I’ve been making them ever since.

The trouble is, Jus-Rol seem to be dominating the market in terms of gluten free ready rolled puff pastry here in the UK. There is a block of frozen puff pastry you can get from Genius. I’ll be honest here and say I’ve not tried this for a gluten free Danish Pastry recipe – yet. if you do attempt this recipe with a block of puff then by all means come back and let me know how you got on by commenting below. I love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Treacle Tart Danish Pastries; gluten free and vegan

How do you make this Danish Pastry shape?

I use this same shape in my Gluten Free Apricot Danish Pastries recipe. It’s a simple but effective shape that looks really professional but I promise it’s not hard to do.

Step One: make the initial square shapes you will need for this style of Danish Pastry. (This works with the JusRol GF Puff Pastry as it comes in a rectangular sheet).

make a square
cut off excess
make creases
both ways

Step Two: I’ve cheated and use photos from another recipe but it’s the same process, here is how you create the criss-cross effect for this Danish Pastry. obviously for this Gluten Free Danish Treacle Tarts recipe your filling will be the treacle tart mixture.

cut out two ‘V’ shapes
fold one corner
fold opposite corner

Equipment you will need

  • slide off baking tray
  • baking paper
  • silicone pastry brush
  • cooling rack
  • smoothie maker/blender for breadcrumbs
  • medium saucepan
  • Kitchen Scales

Ingredients you will need

  • 1 packet Jus-Rol Gluten Free Puff
  • gluten free bread crumbs
  • golden syrup (corn syrup)
  • lemon zest

First glaze (to help pastry brown)

  • golden caster sugar
  • dairy free milk

Second glaze (to make pastry shine)

  • golden syrup (corn syrup)
  • boiled water

Icing drizzle

  • icing/confectioners sugar
  • dairy free milk

Equipment

  • slide off baking tray
  • baking paper
  • silicone pastry brush
  • cooling rack
  • smoothie maker/blender for breadcrumbs
  • medium saucepan
  • Kitchen Scales

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 packet Jus-Rol Gluten Free Puff
  • 100 g gluten free bread crumbs to be vegan make sure you use an egg free bread e.g. B Free
  • 150 g golden syrup (corn syrup)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

First glaze (to help pastry brown)

  • 1 tsp golden caster sugar
  • 2 tsp dairy free milk

Second glaze (to make pastry shine)

  • 1 tsp golden syrup (corn syrup)
  • 1 tsp boiled water

Icing drizzle

  • 3 tbsp icing/confectioners sugar
  • 1.5 tsp dairy free milk

Instructions
 

  • Take your puff pastry and cut into 4 equal size squares (you could save trimmings for another bake, maybe make jam tarts at the same time and add a lattice top to them) Set the squares aside until needed.
  • In a saucepan heat the golden syrup and lemon juice and add your bread crumbs. Take off heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Cut your puff pastry squares as shown below and add the golden syrup and crumb mixture, fold the two corners over to create the criss-cross effect.
  • Mix the milk alternative and sugar together and brush over the tops of the puff, this will aid the pastry to brown a little.
  • Pop in a preheated oven set at 220°C | 200°C fan | 400°F | Gas 7 for 15mins
  • Remove from, the oven once beautifully browned, whilst still hot, using the pastry brush add your second glaze to create a deliciously beautiful shine, allow to cool completely
  • Make the icing drizzle to decorate your danish pastries…eat the same day (as if I needed to say that!)

So to date I have made £78.58 since I first started the scheme in 2017. It won’t pay the bills, that’s for sure but it does help to pay for ingredients or little treats to cheer me up!

    They sound wonderful! I happen to have golden syrup, which is not normally sold in my suburban grocery stores, but a trip to the city gave me the chance to shop in a bigger store with well-stocked international section, so I grabbed golden syrup. Now I know what to do with it :-) Thanks for linking to Fiesta Friday.

    I’m a huge fan of Danish parties too and your Danish Treacle Tarts sound like heaven to me. I’d use Schär’s Ciabatta for the breadcrumbs – it’s our favourite ‘free from’ bread. Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.
