Stilton and Broccoli flan Chorizo Char-grilled red pepper flan #baking

Here are my Flans, not Quiches.

Ingredient

250 g

Plain flour

125 g

fat (half and half Chilled Lard and Butter cut into small pieces)

A few

broccoli florets cut into small pieces and blanched

1/2

a finely diced onion sautéd

eggs

300 ml

double cream Ground white pepper to taste

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Gently rub the cold fat into the flour with your finger tips, until it resembles breadcrumbs.

* Step 2

Bind with chilled water to bring together to form a ball using a metal knife. Wrap with cling film and chill for 20 mins.

* Step 3

Once the pastry has rested, roll out on a lightly floured board to a size just larger than your flan case/s plus the sides.

* Step 4

Gently lift the pastry into the case/s and, using a small ball of pastry carefully press the pastry into the edges of the tin.

* Step 5

Trim any excess away but ensure that one centimetre of pastry protrudes above the top of the tin.

* Step 6

Chill and rest for 20mins. This stage is vital to ensure the pastry does not shrink back during cooking.

* Step 7

Remove the pastry cases from the fridge and rub off the excess pastry from the edge using your thumb to give a clean finish to the edge.

* Step 8

Blind bake on a baking sheet at 200 degrees for 15 mins or until lightly golden using baking parchment and baking beans.

* Step 9

Beat all of the custard ingredients together until fully combined. Put to one side

* Step 10

Remove the baking beans from the pastry cases and fill with the fillings.

* Step 11

Carefully ladle in the custard ensuring it doesn’t seep over the top.

* Step 12

Bake the flans for approx 30 mins. If they start browning too much cover with foil.

* Step 13

Once cooked carefully tip to check the bottom of the flan is crisp - no soggy bottoms! 😂 Leave to cool in the tins for about 15 mins until ready to serve.
