Peter Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 What a fantastic blue sky this morning, just got out of bed chickens were let into the run at 8am with my bedside mechanism now I must feed them. I made a Tar-ta pie yesterday and I need no help to eat it but to know why the top pastry and rhubarb are cooked but the the pastry on the bottom is not. This happens quite often. Help. Peter.

The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Do you blind-bake the pastry case first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 No I just make the pie and put it in the oven as the recipe, I see what you mean, I do have some ceramic beads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Cook it blind with the beads first, then take them and the greaseproof paper out and bake empty until it is lightly golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I always blind bake the pastry case first - no soggy bottoms here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Make sure you remember to put greaseproof in between the pastry and baking beans - I forgot once and they were all stuck in the pastry 🤦🏼♀️ Pretty pie Peter 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
