To line a baking tray - cut out a rectangle of greaseproof paper big enough to cover the base and sides of the tray, at each corner make a diagonal cut about 5cms long from the corner, grease the base and sides of the baking tray with oil, line the baking tray with the greaseproof paper, grease the top of the greaseproof paper lightly with oil. 3. To line a sandwich tin with pastry for Baking Blind - roll the pastry big enough to cover the base and sides of the sandwich tin. Line the tin with the pastry and trim off any excess – it is important not to stretch the pastry at this stage or it will shrink when cooked.. Pierce the base of the pastry several times with a fork. Line on top of the pastry with tin foil. This prevents the sides of the pastry case collapsing during baking blind.
