    5. Flatten into a disc shape, wrap in clingwrap and place in fridge for 15 minutes to rest.

    6. Roll out pastry to 3mm thick. Line a fluted tart tin with removable base with the pastry and trim off the excess. Place in the fridge for another 15 minutes to rest. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with baking weights or rice and bake for 10 minutes.
