How to Bake Blind
Preheat oven to 200c/ 180c fan
Having rested the pastry, take it out of the fridge. On a lightly floured surface, pat it with lighly floured rolling pin, turning it then pat again. Roll out to the thickness of a pound coin.
Using the rolling pin, transfer the dough onto the tart tin. PRICK the surface with a fork, then put foil and baking beans.
* If the filling requires no cooking, cook the pastry shell for 15-25 min. Take out the foil and baking beans halfway.
* If the pastry has to be partly baked, leave in the oven for 15 min, taking out the foil and baking beans after 10 min, and return the tin with the shell to bake further for 5-10 min more.
