  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 150 g butter
  • 2 egg yolks

  • 500 ml milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 150 g icing sugar
  • Vanilla essence
  • Zest of 1 lemon

  2. Leave the dough to rest in the fridge for at least 1h.
  3. Put the milk, together with a few drops of vanilla essence and the zest of a lemon in a bowl and bring to the boil.
  4. Then turn off the heat, remove the lemon zest and leave to cool.
  5. Bring to the boil again and continue to stir for a few minutes until it has thickened.
  6. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  7. Take the shortcrust pastry out of the fridge and roll it out to fit a baking tin which has been lined with greaseproof paper. Prick the surface with a fork to avoid any air bubbles.
