What does it mean to prick when your baking something?
It means to use a tool with sharp point(s), such as a toothpick or a fork, to poke very small holes all over the surface of the pastry. These holes allow steam to escape without causing bubbles inside the pastry.

How do you keep the pecan pie filling from leaking through crust while baking?
Don't prick holes in the crust before baking. You only do this when you prebake the pie shell for a cream pie. Any pie that you bake with the filling in it should have a solid crust just the way it is rolled out.
What happens if you do not use baking beans when baking dough?
It will shrink and pull away from the sides. Using a fork to prick the sides and bottom thoroughly will help keep it from shrinking.
How do you make Manchester tart?
Line a pie dish with short crust pastry, blind bake it. When cool spread raspberry jam on pastry and then pour thick custard on top. Allow to cool, sprinkle with coconut. You can also add banana slices before you pour the custard in, but the original recipe doesn't have this. It was my favourite when at school.This recipe is from The Foody website:600ml (1 pint) Milk110g (4oz) Shortcrust Pastry3 tbsp Raspberry Jam3 tbsp Custard Powder2-3 tbsp Desiccated Coconut2 tbsp SugarPre-heat oven to 200°C; 400°F: Gas 6.Roll out the dough and line a baking dish.Blind bake (prick with fork and place a piece of greaseproof paper with some baking beans on pastry).Bake for 15 minutes.Allow to cool.Spread the jam over the pastry base, sprinkle with coconut.Boil the milk and whisk into the sugar and custard powder (follow manufacturers instructions).Pour into the pastry case.Sprinkle with coconut or a little sugar, to prevent a skin forming.Allow to cool before serving. Serves 4

How long can you keep shortcrust pastry in the fridge?
To pre bake a pie crust takes about 20 minutes. But this can vary, depending on your oven's accuracy. Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before putting the pie crust in the oven. And if you are pre baking the pie crust, be sure to prick the crust with a fork all over the entire sides and bottom of the crust to prevent shrinkage. Some bakers prefer to also put a 'filler' in the crust before pre baking, such as dried beans. This helps it to retain its shape, and also helps with even browning. If the edge of the crust begins to brown before the bottom of the crust is done, you can cover the edges of the crust during the last few minutes of baking.
What are the 5 rules for making pastry?
1 - Make sure you kitchen work-surfaces are clean and tidy. 2- Take the butter out of the fridge and cut into cubes about 30minutes to an hour before you wish to use it. (Depends on what the room temperature is like - you want the butter soft but not warm). 3- Wash you hands thoroughly. Then run them under cold water, to prevent the pastry from overheating. 4. When the recipes calls for butter to be rubbed into the flour, make sure it is done so that the resulting texture is very fine. (I.e no visible lumps of butter). Unless you're making rough-puff pastry, in which case you want to leave lumps. 5. When adding the liquid to combine the flour/butter mixture, don't overwork the dough. This will develop the gluten strands and make the resulting pastry hard. 6. Chill the pastry for at least an hour before use. 7. Always, always, always use actual butter (or lard, where the recipe states). Margarine/spreads will not give the correct result. 8. Lining the tin correctly and blind-baking are (in most cases) just as important as getting the actual pastry correct. There's nothing worse than making a perfect dough but ruining it on the bake. 9. Shortcrust and sweet pastry will always shrink a little during cooking, not matter how much you chill the dough. Allow for this by lining the tin with the pastry protruding slightly above the upper edge of the tin. 10. (A tip, not a rule) Supposedly, clean coins (spare change) are better for blind-baking than ceramic baking beans/dried beans/rice etc.., because they head up quicker so there's no soggy bases. I have yet to try this, but I do intend to do so.
