This recipe looks really good as I've never been able to bake a pie crust without failing. I'm wondering if there is any baking in this recipe or use as is after the refrigeration? Thanks Fran Caverley

Hi Fran,

Yes, you would bake this pastry according to the recipe that you're following. After the refrigeration you roll out the crust as you normally would, fit it in the pie pan, add your filling and bake.

Hope this helps,

Or you can bake them into small little tarts with nothing in them, ( just the shells ) and serve with fresh fruits, and whipped cream, or even ice cream and fresh fruit. let people make their own at a party! Enjoy!

Crust came out wonderful. I added half cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the recipe.
