Pidy Round Trendy Neutral Tart Cases 4cm x 96

Tart Cases

Pidy Round Trendy Neutral Tart Cases 4cm x 96 are crisp, pre-baked shortcrust pastry shells designed for creating neat individual tartlets, canapés and bite-sized appetisers. Their delicate, neutral flavour makes them particularly versatile, allowing everything from rich savoury fillings to lighter, fresher combinations to take centre stage.

Each mini tart case has a light, crumbly shortcrust texture while being sturdy enough to hold a filling without losing its shape. At 4cm across, they are a handy size for buffets, afternoon tea, parties, events and restaurant-style canapés, saving the time and preparation involved in making and shaping individual pastry shells from scratch.

The cases can be used for both hot and cold fillings. For an extra-crisp finish, refresh the empty pastry cases in a preheated oven at 170°C for around 5 minutes and allow them to cool before adding a cold filling. For hot tartlets, fill the cases and bake at 170°C for approximately 8–12 minutes.

Key Features:

• Pack contains 96 mini round tart cases.
• Each case measures approximately 40mm diameter x 16mm high.
• Individual tart case weight: approximately 6.5g.
• Made using vegetable fat.
• Pre-baked and ready to fill.
• Consistent shape and size make portioning and presentation straightforward.
• Large catering pack is ideal for parties, buffets, afternoon tea and events.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Fill the tart cases with caramelised onion chutney and goat’s cheese, then bake until the cheese is soft and lightly golden for simple savoury canapés.
• Spoon in a creamy wild mushroom filling and finish with a little truffle oil for miniature mushroom tartlets that work particularly well on an autumn or Christmas menu.
• Fill the cases with whipped feta, roasted red pepper and a spoonful of chilli jam for a colourful bite with creamy, sweet and gently spicy flavours.
• Make miniature quiche-style tartlets with an egg filling, smoked bacon and mature Cheddar for an easy addition to brunches, buffets and afternoon tea spreads.

How far in advance should I fill mini tart cases?

For the crispest pastry, add moist or creamy cold fillings as close to serving as practical. When preparing ahead, a thin barrier of butter, soft cheese or another suitable fat-based ingredient can help reduce moisture reaching the pastry.

How can I stop pastry tart cases becoming soggy?

Allow hot or particularly wet fillings to cool or drain where appropriate before adding them to the pastry. Sauces, vegetables and other moisture-rich ingredients should not contain excessive liquid, as this can soften a crisp tart shell.

How much filling will I need for 96 mini tart cases?

The exact amount depends on the consistency and density of your chosen filling. As these are small 4cm canapé cases, it is worth making a test tartlet first and weighing the filling used; you can then multiply that quantity by 96 for accurate batch preparation with less waste.
