Brand New Cake Baking Beans 500g
Baking beans are essential for blind baking your creations. But what exactly is blind baking? Blind baking is a way to ensure that the base does not rise. You bake the base in advance, so to speak, resulting in a crispy base. You do this with the help of these reusable ceramic blind baking beans. Place them on the base to be baked (as a support filling).
Pro tip: always place a layer of baking paper between the dough and the beans.
Working with Brand New Cake Baking Beans
- Roll out the pastry dough thinly, line a greased tart or cake tin, and leave the excess over the sides. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent shrinkage.
- Line the pastry with baking paper.
- Spread the beans evenly over the paper and bake the shell according to your recipe’s instructions.
- When done, remove the shell from the oven, lift out the paper with the beans, and gently peel away the excess dough from the sides.
- Trim the excess pastry from the sides, then return the shell to the oven to finish baking, either on its own or with your chosen filling.
The beans are reusable, so this 500-gram pack will serve you well for many large tarts. For best results, hand-wash the beans after use.
