Method

Mix the filling ingredients, pour into the case, and bake for 30 minutes at 190°C.

Line a 23cm tart tin with the dough, prick the base, and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Mix in the egg with a knife and knead on a dusted surface to form a smooth dough.

Rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Bake the pastry blind using parchment and baking beans for 15 minutes, then bake briefly without weights until golden.
