By hand is okay, just make sure you work fast so the butter stays as cold as possible. If you have a pastry blender, you can use that too. Happy baking. Hope you like the recipe and these egg tarts are perfect for Easter weekend. ;)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041216192025257555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646408613786865343.post-61746570206820181042013-03-29T17:52:12.990-07:002013-03-29T17:52:12.990-07:00oh i get it now. thanks so much for the explanatio...oh i get it now. thanks so much for the explanation! i was just youtubing a video on making egg tarts but a different method was used. i think i'll try your recipe this weekend. i don't have a food processor so i hope making the dough by hand would do =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646408613786865343.post-44475815963688048642013-03-29T16:31:57.912-07:002013-03-29T16:31:57.912-07:00You're very welcome. The step you're refe...You're very welcome. The step you're referring to in this recipe is called "blind baking". Which is to partially bake the tart shell without the filling. That way, your tart shell will stay dry and flaky and NOT soggy after you bake them with the egg custard filling.<br /><br />The step should be:<br /><br />1) Preheat oven to 400F. <br />2) On a floured surface, roll out the dough to around 1/4-inch thickness. <br />3) Cut dough with a cookie cutter that is about 4-inch in diameter and fit into tart tins. Don't stretch the dough when placing it in the tins or it will shrink during baking. <br />4) Cut off the excess by rolling the pin across the top of each tins. <br />5) Line the tart shells with a piece of parchment paper and fill them with rice or lentils. <br />6) Place on a baking sheet and bake the crust for 8 minutes or until the edges are slight brown. Remove from oven.<br /><br />Which means that after you roll and cut out the dough, it goes directly into the tart pan, the cover the tart dough with a piece of parchment paper on top. THEN, fill the parchment paper with the rice/lentils. The rice/lentils used to weight down the parchment paper so the dough/tart shell doesn't pop up as much during the blind baking process. <br /><br />Using a piece of parchment paper in between the dough and the rice so you can lift up the rice easily without getting them into your dough/tart shell. I usually keep the same rice/lentil in a jar for blind baking purposes (I haven't try cooking them after they're used as weight in baking, so not sure if they would taste the same or have the same texture).<br /><br />Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041216192025257555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646408613786865343.post-66319019234580191732013-03-29T15:06:01.445-07:002013-03-29T15:06:01.445-07:00hi there! thanks for sharing the recipe! just so i...hi there! thanks for sharing the recipe! just so i get it right: "Line the tart shells with a piece of parchment paper and fill them with rice or lentils" --> does this mean putting the dough in the tart tins (hence tart shells) and then placing them on a piece of parchment paper, and fill the shells with rice/lentils? what is the reason for the rice/lentils? will the rice be cooked and still usable after that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646408613786865343.post-22952325374646080232012-08-02T17:40:04.898-07:002012-08-02T17:40:04.898-07:00You can only use caster sugar to replace the 1/4 c...You can only use caster sugar to replace the 1/4 cup sugar in the custard, but not the powder sugar in the crust.
