Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and use to line eight 4-inch false-bottomed tart pans. Trim the edges, then chill for 30 min... Line the pastry with foil (or parchment paper and fill with ceramic baking beans. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F for 10 to 15 min. until lightly browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and remove the parchment paper and baking beans.
