REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

(Brands I recommend are actual products/brands I own and trust. If you don’t see a link, it means I don’t have a strong preference about a product. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you purchase through the links below.)

9-inch pie pan (Metal preferred. This USA Pan is the one I own.)

9-inch tart pan (It is okay to use a 9 inch pie pan or 9 inch cake pan, but you will not be able to remove the tart from the pan. Fat Daddio’s is a great brand.)

Large bowls

Whisk

Wooden Spoon

Rubber Spatula (I know most people have rubber spatulas on hand, if you are looking for an upgrade, Vollrath is the absolute best brand out there.

Box grater

Fine mesh sieve (This is the set that I own.) A crank and disk flour sifter is not a substitute. The sieve is for pastry cream.

Parchment paper

Plastic wrap

Medium, heavy bottom sauce pan

Piping bag with a plain, round tip (No. 6 or 8 are good sizes)

Large french star piping tip (optional, but makes for authentic eclairs.

Sharpie marker

Containers for storing pastry cream overnight.

Pastry brush
