Kali Tartlet Shell Mould

15 Hollow Plain Round Tartlets

Mallard Ferrière

Method:

• Place your pastry over the mould, then slide a rolling pin on top and discard the pastry excess.
• Bake in the oven for a few minutes.
• The heat from the oven will help to shape the pastry shells.
• Take the mould out of the oven and wait for 2 minutes, then release the pastry shells.

We recommend using a stainless steel rolling pin to preserve the sharp rim of the cavities in the mould.
