Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Rub flour, icing sugar, and butter together in a bowl until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  • Add the egg yolk and 30ml of water to form a firm dough.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the pastry and line a 25cm loose-bottomed flan tin.
  • Bake the pastry blind for 20 minutes before lowering the oven to 150°C.
  • Blend orange rind, juice, and cornflour in a small bowl.
  • Add 600ml of boiling water to the orange mixture and simmer until it becomes a thick custard.
  • Stir egg yolks and sugar into the custard and boil briefly while whisking.
  • Pour the cooling custard into the pastry case and spread evenly.
  • Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks and gradually add caster sugar at high speed.
  • Spoon meringue over the filling and swirl into decorative peaks.
  • Bake for 60 minutes until the exterior is crisp.
