blind bake
Crust without filling
Blind bake is a cooking technique where a pie or tart crust is baked empty, before filling is added.
The crust is typically lined with parchment and weighted with dried beans or pie weights to prevent puffing and shrinking.
This prebaking ensures a crisp bottom when the filling is wet or requires no cooking: Blind bake the crust for fifteen minutes before adding the custard.
