Preparation steps
1.
For the pastry: Mix together the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
2.
Stir in the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons cream. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together and can be formed into a ball. If the dough is too dry, add another tablespoon of cream. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
3.
Heat the oven to 190°C (170° fan) 375°F gas 5. Grease a 25 cm|10" tart tin.
4.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and line the tin. Prick the pastry all over with a fork, line the pastry case with non-stick baking paper and fill it with rice or dried beans. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked. Remove the paper and beans and leave to cool.
5.
For the filling: put the sugar, cornflour and milk in a pan. Bring to a boil, stirring and cook for 2 minutes.
6.
Whisk the egg and egg yolks until light.
7.
Pour about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs, whisking constantly.
8.
Whisk the egg mixture into the hot milk in the pan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cover the surface with cling film, pressing it directly onto the top of the filling to prevent a skin forming. Cool, then chill for 3 hours until thickened.
9.
Pour the chilled filling into the pastry case. Arrange the berries on top of the filling in a circular pattern.
10.
Heat the jam in a small pan until melted. Remove from the heat. Brush the warm jam over the top of the fruit. Chill until ready to serve. Decorate with fresh flowers.
