The texture however was limp not flaky but it tasted tender and buttery. That’s very different!

This would be wonderful for a lemon tart. Pate sucree is a sweet pastry that resembles cookie dough that must be made in advance and allowed to mellow.

of a deconstructed asparagus scramble. Easy peasy. I used this for chicken pot pie and I did not blind bake it. “Surely, you jest!” I wanted to cry out in disbelief. Thanks – am excited I found you – even though I may be the last baker to do so.I followed the recipe exactly, but my tart base rose, forming something like a dome. I was looking around for an easy pastry for a tart I was going to make and I vaguely remembered this post.Please tell us how you make the chocolate filling, it looks HEAVENLY! I made two crusts using a food processor and blind baked them. The dough was so soft that I was sure it would fall. It’s mind blowing! I almost started choking. It couldn’t be easier to make, or more interesting, and yielded a wonderfully flaky, buttery dough. It took me 20 minutes to make a frangipane-filled, apple slice-topped tart…that’s including the frangipane making. Then roll it out. You'll find just the right home canning recipe right here.This collection of top-rated recipes highlights this versatilty, featuring chicken thighs with international accents, from chicken curry to cacciatore, chicken teriyaki to chicken tagine, biriyani and butter chicken, and much more.Most people won't think twice about serving basic cornbread when is on the table. https://www.thespruceeats.com/favorite-french-dessert-recipes-1375242 I almost broke one of my shells, being clumsy when taking it out of the oven, but patched up about ten huge cracks with the reserved dough and that made it sturdy and good as new! I do like that this wasn't sweet so it worked nicely with my super sweet apple pie. BTW, just wanted to let you know I finally got your book “Ready for Dessert.” I love the pics and wish there were more….I read a few pages already and plan to make the racines or choc pave soon….Thanks for the lovely recipes David! After baking for 15 min it was more burnt than anything else.Sorry to hear that, I’ve had nothing but good luck with it! I can’t wait to try it out .How do I bake this crust for a cold filling?Hi Tina, as per the recipe, then simply bake a minute or two longer until golden. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. I wish I had never found this recipe, since now I am going to be using it every time, and there goes my waistline!! I pricked the dough all over with tines of a fork, like the recipe says. I know my old oven was way off so I always had to go by the seperate internal thermometer rather than the temp gauge to get it set correctly!I just made this for a lemon blueberry tart and it was delicious! Stop processing before it totally comes together. I did try chilling it and it is easy to roll out once chilled, like a standard pastry but found it shrinks an awful lot (not too much shrinkage when not chilled) I didn’t weight it down with baking beans but don’t think it would have helped that much, so I don’t think you can really use it as a tart pastry if chilled.

Fourth time is the charm I guess and it worked! My tart was very overdone cracked and dark brown – after 14 min.


I’m in LOVE with your blog.This is similar to pate choux, or a version of it. You saved French Short Pastry to your.this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines.Add comma separated list of ingredients to include in recipe.Add comma separated list of ingredients to exclude from recipe.Jams, preserves, pickles and more! But it is just moments from being pulled out of the oven and it is BEAUTIFUL!! Remove dough from processor onto a floured surface, and form into a ball. Happy Easter JJ!Melting butter to make pastry?

Will keep this recipe for sure!This pastry is idiot-proof, even for hot kitchens. It melts in the mouth. Like in a muffin tin? Should I have lowered my oven temp at some point?Hi Amy, it is 210 C the whole time, it was listed on the original source recipe that way and is how I did it all the times I made it. Trust the genius of the French, they know their pastry. It will not hold together. ~ JJ.I was wondering if the tart is actually baked at 210 degrees Celsius? It is much more flaky than any other pastry I have tried. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs.Nutrient information is not available for all ingredients. Will let you know when I try. If it shrinks at all as you roll it, put it back into the freezer immediately or before filling.

~ JJ.o my … I can’t take my eyes off from the screen. Otherwise, this is a perfect crust albeit a bit greasy. Sounds like too much flour or too little fat.

It is also the oddest method I’ve ever come across. Place a removable-base 9 inch tart tin on a baking sheet.Place all other ingredients — butter through salt — in a medium oven-proof bowl and place bowl in hot oven for 15 mins. The pear/almond tart (your recipe) was eaten down to the last crumb. Pulse the flour and salt together add the chilled butter and pulse just enough to form pea sized crumbs.
