I was completely lying to you when I said I made the brisee all the time. I think I have made it once, but it is the sucree I usually go for. it is very forgiving. I made a batch last night.

Haven't had a bite yet...waiting for tonight (book club girls coming over). As for points, waaaay too many to count! The brisee is not super forgiving, but it wasn't too tough, either. I did have a smidge that broke off, come to think of it, and it was good -- great for quiches and such.
thats why i like making tartlettes and mignardise - it means i don't have to wait til the guests come over to try it. No one is going to notice if there are one or two missin, but... if a slice of tart has disappeared then it is usually pretty obvious!
Looks "melt in your mouth" delicious!!!

Looks like you did good anyway!
