Blind baking (recipes)


A method of preparing a pastry case before adding the filling, in order to prevent the bottom becoming soggy and undercooked. The pastry is first baked with a lining weighted with beans. You can use dried beans (haricot beans are good) or you can buy ceramic or glass baking beans from good cook shops specifically made for the purpose. Crumpled up tin foil also does the job if you haven' t got any beans in your cupboard.
