So what is Blind Baking???

Define - Blind Bake 

Baking blind  (pre-baking) is the process of baking a pie crust or other pastry without the filling. Blind baking is a process undertaken before filling the pastry with (pudding or cream pies). It is neccassary so the filling of the pie doesn't over cook and the crust over cooks. It also prevents the crust from becoming soggy from the pie's filling. 

The crust is filled with Ceramic Beads or Uncooked Rice to stop the pastry from rising.
