Method

To make the pastry, whizz the flour, icing sugar, butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and milk and pulse until the mixture comes together to form a ball of dough (add a few drops of cold water, if needed). Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for 30 mins.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use it to line a 21cm tart tin, leaving an overhang. Prick the base all over with a fork; chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Remove the tin from the fridge, line with nonstick baking paper and fill with baking beans (or rice). Transfer the tin to a baking tray.
Bake the pastry for 20 mins, then carefully remove the paper and baking beans (or rice). Return to the oven for a further 8-10 mins, or until the pastry is cooked and lightly golden. Leave to cool a little, then gently trim the overhang. Transfer the pastry case to a wire rack to cool completely.
