Step by step recipe

• 1: Spread out 300 g shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) in a 8 inches (20 cm) mould, following these tips.
  Put on standby in the fridge.
• 2: Prepare 800 g paris flan filling.
  Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
• 3: Remove pastry case from fridge, trim and neaten edges with a knife and prick all over bottom with a fork or a pique-vite.
• 4: Pour mixture into the pastry case.
  Note that we put hot cream on dough, a bit unusual but necessary to reduce cooking time.
• 5: And immediately put in the oven for about 50 minutes.
• 6: You can glaze (with apricot jelly) top for a shiny dessert.
• 7: Taste imperatively cold, your flan can also very well wait for a full night in the fridge.
