INSTRUCTIONS
To make the pastry, sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the butter
and water. Press the mixture into the base and up the sides of a 20 cm
(8 inch) fluted flan tin. Prick the base with a fork and bake blind in
a preheated oven 200 øC, 400 øF, Gas Mark 6 for 15 minutes, removing
the lining paper and baking beans for the last 5 minutes. For the
filling, heat the butter in a pan and add the onion, fry for 5-6
minutes until golden. Cool slightly and spread over the base of the
pastry case. Arrange the ham and asparagus spears on top. Beat
together the eggs, cream and seasoning to taste and pour into the flan
case. Return to the oven for a further 30-35 minutes until the filling
is set and golden. Serve hot or cold with a crisp green salad.
