Dessert Recipes - Sweet Pastry Flan Case Recipe
Ingredients
-
175 g/6
oz/1 1/2 cups plain (all-purpose) flour
-
A pinch
of salt
-
75 g/3
oz/1/3 cup unsalted (sweet) butter, softened
-
7.5 ml/1
1/2 tsp caster (superfine) sugar
-
1 egg
yolk
-
15 ml/1
tbsp water
Method:
-
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in
the centre and add the butter, sugar and egg yolk.
-
Gradually knead in the flour until the mixture forms
a ball, adding the water to form a soft but not
sticky dough.
-
Wrap the pastry (paste) in Clingfilm (plastic wrap)
and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out and use to line a
20 cm/8 in flan ring set on a baking (cookie) sheet.
-
Prick the base with a fork and fill with crumpled
foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas
mark 6 for about 10 minutes, then remove the paper
and bake for a further 5 minutes to dry out.
-
Cool slightly, then remove the flan ring and
transfer the flan case to a serving plate. Use as
required.
