French term

cuisson à blanc

French to English Other Cooking / Culinary
Hello,

Is there a special cooking term in English that corresponds to this French term (meaning that the pastry shell for an open tart is cooked without filling beforehand - usually with dried beans or stones at the bottom to stop it from puffing up - ensuring a nice, crunchy crust)?

Thanks in advance,

Dana

Hi Dana,
Yes, or "blind-baked pastry case". That's fine.
Note from asker:
Wow, that was really quick! So could I say "a blind-baked pastry shell"?
