Thank you so much for this! Looking forward to trying this out in a flan of my own.

Nicola's pâte sucrée recipe has become my go-to, and I'm still trying to figure out a good gluten-free version of that as well!

This is a very exciting and helpful post! I have celiac and have been following the work of Medrich, Goyoaga and Prueitt for years. Such geniuses! I recently made the pie crust from Canelle et Vanille Bakes Simple and really like it-- but I'm so curious about your recipe! Love how you went into detail about process. I have also tried cream cheese dough and found it tore very easily.

Hi there,

Any directions (temp/time) for blind baking this pastry? Because there's no blind bake for flan patissier, I'm wondering best practice for using this in other applications requiring a blind bake.

also just an interesting note: I made this with plant-based butter (Miyoko's Creamery) for someone with a lot of dietary restrictions, and my test bake was both flaky and tasty, no leakage of any kind!
