How to Make a Press-In Crust

March 18, 2011

To quote Amanda: "We love press-in doughs. For all the obvious reasons..." As tart crusts go, we'll take the reprieve.

This week's videos were once again shot and edited by filmmaker Elena Parker. For more on tarts, check-out this week's contest for Your Best Late Winter Tart.

Excellent! Thanks. Any future plans on doing a video for making baguettes?

Amanda H. March 24, 2011

Not yet, but will keep that in mind!

Louisa March 20, 2011

Which shortbread crust recipe did you all use?

Merrill S. March 21, 2011

We used the dough for one of this week's finalist, the Madeira Tart!

How convenient! I was LITERALLY in the process of making a press in crust (made my custard already, getting ready to make the crust), and I needed to wait for my butter to come to room temp, so I sat down for a sec and checked my email, and just look what I found! I video on making press in crust! Thank you!!

You're very welcome, Sweetman.

I love your videos. I teach kids and you need to give them clear directions but treat them as adults. Pie crust is one of my favorite recipes to teach.

For small tart shells I use a morter to press in the sides.

Happy cooking!
