You mean pastry as in like a pie crust, Josephine? I've tried making it with a mix of the almond and gluten free flour, but it is very hard to get it to bind together :-(
Hmm I did tried once with free gluten flour but I manage to get ball but then in freight and then sort of when pear shape when I tried roll it out.
i've just find recipe on other website Glutafin.
This is a pastry alternative 'hazelnut crust'
1 1/2 cups (150g) hazelnut flour /ground hazelnuts
1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
1/4 cup (35g) cornflour
125g cold unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
Mix first 4 ingredients together till it resembles breadcrumbs. Use yolk to bind. Knead it until smooth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out between two sheets of baking paper. Bake blind (no filling) for 25 minutes at 180 c.

Coconut crust
1 1/2 cups (120g) desiccated coconut
1 1/2 cups (125g) shredded coconut
2/3 cup (150g) caster sugar
4 egg whites
Combine coconuts and sugar, stir in egg whites. Press mixture into (greased) muffin pan holes to make individual 'pastry' cases. These can be baked with filling in- 15 minutes at 180 c. But allow to cool before removing from pan.
You can make custard with the yolks left over!

Thanks Rebecca the hazel nut pastry sound yummy and wondered were get the flour from.
You could try a health food shop, or you could try grinding it yourself (using a blender that can crush ice, or a food processor)
