Wrap in cling-film and refrigerate for half an hour.
2) Roll the pastry out on a floured surface and cut it into shapes to fit 8 tartlets tins. Also cut out some 'lids'. Prick the bottoms of the tartlets and chill for 20 minutes. Fill the tartlets with a few dried beans so that they can bake blind. Put the lids on a baking sheet and cook both cases and lids in an oven.
