     NOTE  BAKE BLIND means that you prepare the base put it in the mold put butter paper in it and put red beans,or chickpeas in it n bake you can reuse the beans for blind baking.we have to bake the base first.

       blind baking is done to bake base so that base bakes evenly n smooth. you are suppose to cover the base with butter paper then put beans in it n bake when its baked remove the beans n butter paper pour filling n bake again.hope it helps
