The pastry is hard to spread (you would have to add flour and it would change its taste).
So I take my pan and spread it in with my hand.

Take care to have the same thickness everywhere and a flat base.



TutoChocolatCaramel6
Cover the pastry with parchment paper and dried beans.

Blind bake at 320° F (160° C) for 15 min.

The caramel

– 2 cups powdered sugar (250 g)
– 2 tbsp water
– 6 tbsp butter (100 g)
– 11 tbsp liquid cream (17 cl)

Make a golden caramel with the sugar and the water (don’t add water, the 2 tablespoon are enough !).

Heat the cream in the microwave and add it to the caramel away from the eat.

Burns can occur : when adding the cream the level rises like boiled milk

Replace the pan over heat and cook gently until smooth and creamy.

Remove from the heat and let cool for few minutes.
