Method

Make it happen

  1. 01

    Rub butter into flour and sugar. Add egg and a little cold water to form a dough; chill 25 minutes, roll to 3 mm and line a 23 cm pie tin.

  2. 02

    Blind-bake the lined case at 180°C fan for 15 minutes with baking paper and baking beans, then remove them and bake for 5 minutes more.

  3. 03

    Whisk eggs, golden syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and salt until smooth.

  4. 04

    Spread chopped walnuts over the baked pastry case and pour in the syrup custard.

  5. 05

    Reduce the oven to 160°C fan. Pour the filling into the prepared, partly baked pastry shell, taking care not to overfill.

  6. 06

    Bake for 38 minutes until the edges are set and the centre has only a slight wobble; let cool completely so slices hold their shape.
