Instructions

  • First prepare the Pasta Frolla Pastry base
  • Then while that rests in the fridge, prepare the sweet cream and let it cool down
  • Butter a baking tray and dust it with some flour
  • Preheat the oven to 200°
  • Roll out the pastry over a floured chopping board and work it with the rolling pin, it needs to be ˝ centimetre in height
  • Roll the pastry around the rolling pin with your hands and put it into the pan and level uniformly
  • With a fork pick the top of the pastry and cover with oven paper
  • Fill the bottom of the pan with dried beans in order to keep the pastry from rising during the cooking time
  • Put in the oven for no longer than 30 minutes
  • When you remove the pastry from the oven it will seem soft on the top, this is the right consistency, it will become stronger as it cools
