• Note: Blind baking is when you cook just the pastry so that when you place the pie mixture into the dish it doesn’t go all soggy, it creates that crusty pie texture before the pie contents go into the pastry.
• How to Blind Bake. Grease  the pie dish, add the puff sheets.Place some oven bake paper on the pastry . Then on oven bake paper add dry rice then cook for about 10 minutes When remove from oven remove the rice & paper, now you are really for the filling.
