Ceramic baking beans, 500 grams

Ceramic baking beans hold the pastry in place and keep its shape while you blind bake a pastry case. The beans make sure the base doesn't become uneven and that the pastry doesn't slide down the sides of the tart tin.

The beans can be placed directly on top of the pastry, but it's more practical to put a piece of baking paper between the pastry and the beans.

Ceramic baking beans are an economical alternative to using chickpeas, dried beans or the like to hold the pastry in place, as they can be used again and again.

Please note: 500 grams of baking beans is enough for a smaller tart tin / baking tin with a diameter of up to approx. 21 cm. For larger tins, we recommend using up to 1000 grams of baking beans.

This technique is known as blind baking.

Diameter: approx. 8–10 mm
