Tart – what is it?

The tart is primarily associated with French cuisine and its cafés, but it quickly gained popularity among Polish gourmets. While it boasts a crispy base, it can also be prepared without baking, for example, using crumbled biscuits and butter. The tart is most often round, but can also be made in other imaginative shapes. It's suitable for any occasion and delights not only young gourmets but also older gourmets.

You can also make shortcrust pastries and fruit tarts gluten-free. You'll need a gluten-free flour blend. Some recipes also include ingredients like rolled oats, coconut flakes, and dates.
