I need to buy some baking beans to blind bake some tarts - anyone know where I can buy in Hua HIn area?

Hello,

it must exist because the Thais are cakes, excellent, made with white beans, in small aluminum molds (I do them with sweet potato)

See maybe Makro or Villa in Hua Hin Market and Tesco Lotus.

Otherwise, put aluminum foil and a plate on it.

rice works good

Delia says you don't need baking beans...
