Laura007 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 can i use anything else other than ceramic baking beans to stop my pastry from rising? they are really expensive ( i am a tight wad) and thought someone may have an idea. or uses something else themselves. ta.

Lesley Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Any dried pulses will do Laura, or rice? When you've used them, keep them in a screw top jar for another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Make sure you line the pastry with grease proof paper or foil first or the beans may sink into the pastry case............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
