Can Parisian Flan Crust Be Made with Gluten-Free Flour

Question

Hi, regarding making the crust with gluten free flour, would that work?  Since no gluten, do I get to skip the resting and rolling our period?  I used Nutiva (something like that) which is a one for one which I have used for quick breads, simple breads, cookies, cakes, etc. without any adverse issues.  Thanks.

Hello Keith,
We have not made the Parisian flan using gluten-free flour, but we think it should work just fine. You will still need to let the dough rest before rolling it out to allow for the flour to absorb the moisture. Let us know how it turns out!
