INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Rub together the flour and 115g (4oz) of the butter until the mixture
resembles fine breadcrumbs. Finely grate the orange rind and stir into the
pastry mixture with 45ml (3tbsp) of the orange juice. Knead the mixture to
form a stiff dough.
Roll out the pastry and use to line a 23cm (9") loose-bottomed tart tin.
Chill well then bake blind in a preheated oven at 200ºC, 400ºF, gas mark 6
for 15-20 minutes.
Shell the nuts and, if wished, remove the brown skins by simply plunging
the shelled nuts into boiling water for a few minutes then draining.
When the kernels are cool enough to handle the brown skins should then
simply rub off. Place the nuts in the flan case.
Beat together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Melt the remaining
butter. Cool a little and then beat into the egg mixture with the
cornflour, maple and golden syrup and brandy.
Pour the mixture over the nuts and bake in the oven at 180ºC, 350ºF, gas
mark 4 for 30-35 minutes or until the filling has risen and is golden.
Leave to cool a little before removing from the tin. Serve dusted with
icing sugar and decorated with fine strips of orange rind.

NOTES : A variation on pecan pie, this delicious nutty tart is the ideal
way to finish off leftover nuts after the Christmas festivities. Serve it
warm or cold, accompanied with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream.
