3. Mix in lightly the egg and knead the dough until it just about comes together. If necessary sprinkle cold water if the dough seems dry.
4. Knead for a short while and form into a ball. Wrap in plastic or cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Roll out thinly on a floured table top to a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
6. Line a 23 cm (9 inch) pie pan or fluted flan tin making sure to press the pastry well into the sides.
7. Put the tin on a baking sheet and bake blind: line the pastry with foil and baking beans.
8. Bake in a preheated oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 for 15 minutes.
9. Remove foil and baking beans then return to oven to bake for another 5 minutes.
10. Trim the excess pastry from the edge of the flan tin with a knife.

To make the filling:

1. Turn the oven temperature down to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and egg yolks.
3. Stir in the milk into the mixture.
4. Whip the egg white to soft peaks and fold into the milk/egg yolk mixture.
5. Place the pastry lined flan tin on a baking sheet.
6. Pour the filling in the tin and bake for 20 minutes until the top is brown.
7. Bring down oven temperature to 110°C/250°F and bake for a further 1 hour until the custard is just set. The center should wobble a little.
