I made this when I wanted to make some gluten free butter tarts for a function I was attending. My celiac friends loved them and my husband could hardly tell the difference between the regular and gluten free. I have passed the recipe to and out of town celiac friend anad she was very grateful for it.Highly reccomend if you need to be gluten-free. Thanks for posting.
