1 Lightly butter and flour a 23cm fluted tart tin. Blitz the flour, butter and egg yolk in a food processor, slowly adding teaspoons of water until a ball of dough forms. On a lightly floured work surface, briefly knead the pastry, pat into a ball, then flatten with your hand. Roll out to form a circle that just overlaps the tin. Push the pastry into the tin, squashing up to the edges and into the fluted sides, filling any holes with extra bits of pastry. Gently trim any overhanging pastry from the sides of the tart tin. Prick the base with a fork, place onto a baking sheet and chill for 20 mins.
