Defrost the pastry. Preheat the oven to 160c/gas 3. Break 8 eggs, separate
them and place the yolks into a mixing bowl. Roll out the pastry into a
circle about 1/6 of an inch thick.

pastry. Prick the base with fork in several places and line the pastry with
a circle of greaseproof paper and fill with dried beans or special pastry
weights.

oven and take out the beans and greaseproof paper. Brush the bottom with a
beaten egg yolk and return to the oven for 7 further minutes. Lower the
oven temperature to 150c.

blended, Fold in the citrus juice and zest and double cream. Pour the
citrus filling into the pastry crust, and place in the oven and bale for 1

Once out of the oven, allow to cool and then scatter icing sugar, through a
sieve, all over the cake. It is then ready to serve.
