Shortcrust: rubbing in, resting, rolling even, lining the tin, blind baking a crisp base
The second most tested skill in the tent, and the last pure skills week before signatures. Shortcrust from scratch: cold butter, a light hand, a proper rest, rolled even, lined without stretching, and blind baked until the base is crisp all the way through. The bake is a classic tart, cut open so Jana can check for a soggy bottom.
