Here are some tips you can apply to make a successful pie.
Before baking :

You will be able to arrange at the bottom of your pie plate a baking paper or then use a flexipan type baking mat if you prefer to use mousse rings for easy demolding.
Make a short pastry or puff pastry.
Lining the pie pan: For a crispy , you need to prick the dough with a fork or a spade rolls quickly.
For baking: Cook the pastry plain : before cooking your pastry with its filling, it will be necessary for you to precook it or more precisely to cook it plain to avoid that it is tempered with the filling.
Garnish: There are plenty of possibilities for sweet or savory pie filling, our only advice is to cook the pastry beforehand if you expect a rather liquid filling.
After cooking:
The final touch: if it is a sweet dessert, top your tart with fruit jelly for an amazing brilliant visual rendering. For a savory cheese pie, do not hesitate to sprinkle some Gruyère cheese for a delicious gratin side.
