Steps

  • Rub flour, butter, and sugar together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in the egg yolk until a dough starts to form, adding egg white if too dry.
  • Flatten the dough to 2cm thick, wrap in film, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Grease a 25cm tart tin and chill it in the fridge.
  • Roll out the pastry between cling film to 3mm thickness.
  • Line the chilled tin with pastry, trim the edges, prick with a fork, and chill.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Blind bake the pastry with parchment and beans for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove beans, brush with egg white, and bake for 5-8 minutes to seal.
  • Whisk egg yolks and caster sugar, then stir in flour and salt.
  • Boil milk with a scored vanilla pod and infuse for 10 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk hot milk into the egg mixture and return to the pan.
  • Whisk constantly over low heat until thickened, then pour into a cold bowl.
  • Whisk double cream with vanilla extract and sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cooled pastry cream and chill.
  • Fill the pastry case with pastry cream and top with raspberries.
  • Glaze the fruit with a mixture of redcurrant jelly and hot water.
  • Remove the tart from the tin and serve on a plate.
