Croute a Tartlette- Tartlet Crusts

Ingredients

• puff pastry trimmings
• split peas or dried beans

Directions

The book says “a quick oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Roll out puff pastry trimmings to ½ inch thickness.

2. Line tartlet molds (3 inches in diameter) with the pastry.

3. Fill the molds with split peas or dried beans.

4. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven until done.

5. Remove the beans or peas.
