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.

Remarks

You can use different kinds of dough: sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) or puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée).
