    Je ne comprend pas cette partie où l'on met la préparation de fond de tarte dans un moule à fond amovible, ensuite mettre au congélateur 20 minutes. On parle ensuite de fond de papier aluminium beurré qu'on fait cuire au four. Vous congelez le fond de tarte et le cuisez ensuite à 400°F 15 minutes et après vous dites de cuire 8 minutes. Je suis vraiment perdue dans vos explications. J'aimerais bien faire cette recette mais je vais attendre plus de clarté avant.

    Avec les mains mouillées ou farinée, presser dans le fond et sur les côtés de 9 pouces (23 cm) autour de moule à tarte à fond amovible. Mettre au congélateur pendant 20 minutes ou jusqu'à consistance ferme.
    ?Le fond de tarte de papier d'aluminium beurré, graissé vers le bas; remplir avec des poids à tarte ou les haricots secs. Cuire dans le tiers inférieur de 400 ° F (200 ° C) pendant 15 minutes. Cuire au four environ 8 minutes ou jusqu'à consistance ferme et des bords ont grillés. Laisser refroidir sur une grille.
