Method

Place a deep 23cm loose-based fluted tart tin onto a baking tray.

Line the tin with pastry, trim the edges, prick the base with a fork, and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line the pastry with parchment and baking beans.

Bake blind for 25 minutes, remove beans and paper, then bake for 3 more minutes until dry.

Reduce oven temperature to 160°C and patch any holes with reserved pastry.

Pulse flour and butter in a food processor until fine breadcrumbs form, then blend in the beaten egg to form a ball.

Whisk eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in a heatproof bowl until smooth.

Stir milk, cream, vanilla pod, and seeds in a saucepan.

Heat liquid until hot, then slowly whisk into the egg mixture and pour into the pastry case.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the custard is only just set and still slightly wobbly.

Cool the tart completely and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Dissolve sugar in 15ml water in a pan and cook rhubarb in a single layer for 4 minutes per side.

Transfer rhubarb to a bowl and chill until cold.

Remove the tart from the tin, top with rhubarb, and serve.

Roll pastry on a floured surface into a circle 5cm larger than the tin and about 3mm thick.
