Readers exchange Leading the blind bakers.
After reading the recipe for Buttermilk Pie pub-lished in last week s Food section, a reader wondered what the term blind bake a pie shell meant. Blind bake is an English term for baking a pastry shell before it is filled. The shell is usually pricked all over with a fork to prevent it from blister-ing and rising. Sometimes it's lined with foil or parchment paper, then filled with dried beans or rice, or metal or ceramic pie weights. The weights and foil or parchment paper should be removed a few min-utes before the baking time is over to allow the crust to brown evenly.
