Wick'n'Wax Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 would you use?I'm trying my first strawberry tart making the pie crust now and wondering if 1 wick would be ok or should I use 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 ooh ecky thump. I just thought..... I have the wicks with the little round metal bit on the bottom (there must be a technical term for these) how do you thread these through the pastry shell?I was going to stick them to the foil pastry tin with a blob of wax but they must have to feed through the pastry shell somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyCat Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 stick them to the bottom of the pastry?PS - the round metal things are called sustainers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 hiya nattycat ooh yeah, you mean just stick them into the setting wax.sustainers, thats it.got my pastry colour, I think, looks like pastry to me, used raisin brown with a bit of vanilla. Closest FO I had was butterscotch vanilla. Smells gorgeous, but hubby and my boys are 'yucking' all over the house lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
