Gluten Free Zwetschgen Kuchen
- Bottom
- 1 1/4 cups Gluten-free all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ground almonds (you can use a coffee grinder)
- 5-6 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons thick Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon organic cane sugar- optional
- 1 yoke of an egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- pinch of kosher salt
- Topping
- 1 whole egg
- 1 white of an egg (left over from the bottom)
- 5-7 tablespoons organic cane sugar (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons honey (acacia works well)
- 1 teaspoon ground sumac
- 1 tablespoon Sapa
- 2 cups sweet small varietal plums, depitted
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (or you can substitute 4 tbl. Greek yogurt for a healthier version)
- Mix the ingredients of the bottom together until you have a crumbly mixture. Add the extra tablespoon of canola oil if the mix seems dry.
- Press this dough into the bottom of your baking dish or dishes (two 6"). You want the dough to be between 1/8" and 1/4 " thick. Create side walls. These should be @ 1" tall. Crunch the edge down a bit with your thumb prints to even out the perimeter. Set the pastry shell(s) aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the whole egg together with the extra egg white.
- Whisk in the honey and sugar.
- Add the sumac, Sapa, and cream (or yogurt).
- Pour this mix into the pressed shell(s). It should come up the walls about 2/3 of the way. Do not overfill. You might have some leftover filling you can use baking a plum or peach without any crust.
- Add the depitted plums to the kuchen. Bake 25 minutes or so until browned lightly on top.
- Let cool. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or both. This is even better the next day.
