This recipe comes from a cookbook that I came across in one of the elementary school libraries where I worked. I confess that I have not tried this one yet myself but will do soon. It looks delicious. I hope you will give this recipe a try. Enjoy!

    Chef's Secret: "Baking Blind" refers to baking flan, pie and tart shells before filling is added. Line the pie plate with pastry, cover it with foil, or wax paper, and spread a layer of rice or beans over the foil. Bake the pastry shell in a preheated 400F oven for 15 minutes
  • 11
    Remove pastry from oven and cool. Discard tin foil and beans.
