About Tart and Pie
Tart
A "tart" is a baked snack made of a tart skin and stuffing. The structure of tart is similar to that of pie. Tart can be divided into rawhide pie and cooked hide pie. Often decorated with cream and fruit.
The basic dough for tart is made by mixing low gluten flour, eggs and cream, fully kneading.
Due to different production methods and materials, it can be divided into basic pastry and sweet pastry. Without adding fine sugar, the cream cut into small pieces is kneaded into low gluten powder, which is basic pastry. With the addition of fine sugar, the sweet pastry is kneaded with soft cream.
No matter which one is baked in the tart ring moulds, it is used as the base of tart or pie cake.
