This is obviously not how I wanted to spend my Friday. I had a vision: I would make a beautiful French tart that would be fairly simple to make and taste divine. Sadly, my vision was slightly askew. The depressing mistake in the photo above was because I (in my infinite wisdom) thought that pie weights were rather silly. I thought, why not just use the bottom of another tart pan to keep it from rising? Brilliant! So, I put it in the oven, waited the 15 minutes, took it out when it was golden brown and beautiful... and then... oh dear. It was dreadful. The bottom was raw! Sad day. And so, I did it the right way.
There they are... little tartlets. With the much needed pie weights. And here is what they ended up looking like. I was quite pleased with the end result (they were delicious, I might add), but the getting there was a bit rough.
