Steps

  • Rub the butter into the flour and icing sugar until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Mix the egg yolk with lemon juice and water, then work into the flour to form a dough.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Roll out the pastry to 3mm thickness and line the tart tin, leaving excess over the edge.
  • Bake blind with parchment and beans for 15 minutes, then without for 8 minutes.
  • Trim the edges, patch any cracks with raw pastry, and reduce oven to 190°C.
  • Whisk both milks and the sugar for 10 minutes until the volume increases and becomes bubbly.
  • Pour the filling into the case and bake for 30 minutes until just set.
