De Buyer Round Straight Edge Perforated Tart Ring in Stainless Steel, Silver

Product Information

There are many ingredients that can be used to flavour the pastry. For example, add some Orange or Lemon Zest, Vanilla Powder, Freeze-Dried Berries for colour or even some Cacao Powder like I did for my Chocolate Pate Sablee. How to make Pâte Sablée step by step The crust shrank or collapsed in the oven: often happens when the Shortcrust Pastry wasn't rested and/or chilled for long enough. Always rest the pastry for at least 2 hours (one hour rolled flat, one hour lined in the tart part) or up to 24 hours in the fridge. To insure the butter is very cold, place the pastry in the freezer while your oven is preheating. Butter:Use always unsalted as you want to be in control of the quantity of the salt. I am using high-quality 82% fat content European-style butter in all my recipes. While in most of the recipes butter needs to be at room temperature, this is an exception and you have to take it very seriously. The butter needs to be chilled, which means take the butter out of the fridge, cut it into cubes then place it into the freezer for 10-15 minutes before using it

Because of the wonderful quality, the fact that De Buyer invented the perforated tart rings, and because they retail in the US, UK, and EU I'm not going to present other tart ring options. Which leads us to the question - where can you get them? I like to place the pastry in the freezer while the oven is preheating to insure the butter is extremely cold. This is a great way to make sure the pastry does not move or collapse in the oven.Remember, the pastry dough needs to be cold enough but not too cold to be able to handle (these stripes will be the sides of the tart shells) 3. What is blind baking and how to avoid it A pastry blender helps to cut butter into the flour if you don’t want to get your hands dirty! 5. Baking beans

If fully blind-baking it, preheat your oven on 160 degrees Celsius / 325 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. The crust should be golden and completely dry to the touch. Leave to cool down completely before adding your filling.Photo 1: Sift the Flour, Icing Sugar and Salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine, then add the cold Butter cut into small cubes. Photo 4: Mix the Egg in until a soft dough forms. That can be done by hands in the bowl, or more easily on your work bench by using the " Fraisage" technique. Photo 6: Remove the two layers of baking paper and place the pastry inside your Tart Ring (or tart pan). Slide the dough along the edges of the pan and try to insure it creates a sharp 90 degree angle between the bottom and the sides of the pan. That is done by rubbing the small cubes of butter into the powders until you get small crumbs and can't see large lumps of butter or loose powders.

Simply put the tart rings on your sheet pan, line them with the tart crust dough, and bake them as usual. Since 1830, every de Buyer utensil has been conceived and designed in France following the most stringent quality requirements. The majority of our products, and specifically our cookware, are engineered and manufactured in our factory in France. The few exceptions are products, such as some silicone and bakeware utensils, that use manufacturing processes that cannot be sourced in France. Such partners, wherever they are in the world, are always selected according to our high standards of quality and integrity. In terms of temperature, you have to freeze the shortcrust dough before baking as that will ensure that the dough keeps its shape while baking. Also, make sure your oven temp is correct, highly recommended to use a Digital oven thermometer.Sugar: Icing Sugar / Powdered Sugar will create a smooth texture. Make sure to sift it before using as icing sugar tends to get lumpy when stored. There are many different types of tart crusts recipes—some require you to rub the butter into the dry mixture, while some require you to cream softened butter with sugar.
