Instructions
Step 1
1. Begin by making the pastry. Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Add the cold, diced butter and rub the mixture together using your fingertips until it resembles sandy, breadcrumb-like texture. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of milk, a little at a time, and bring the ingredients together to form a dough. Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes before rolling it out to line the tart tin.
Step 2
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Step 3
4. Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pastry into a circle large enough to fit a butter-greased 22cm tart tin. Gently press the pastry into the tin, leaving a slightly overhanging edge. Prick the bottom with a fork.
Step 4
5. Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper and fill it with baking beans or rice. Bake blind for 15 minutes, then remove the paper and beans.
Step 5
6. Beat 1 egg and brush it over the pastry case. Return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until golden. Carefully grate the edges to even them out using a grater.

7. Reduce the oven temperature to 190°C.
