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?

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!!

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!
