Instructions

1 Rub 50 g (2 oz) butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine
breadcrumbs. Mix to a dough with 2 - 3 tablespoons of milk. Roll out on a
floured work surface and use to line an 18 cm (7 inch) flan ring. Bake blind at
220°C (425°F) mark 7 for 15 minutes.
2 Place the remaining milk and whole spices in a pan. Bring to the boil, remove
from heat and stand 15 minutes.
3 Remove and discard spices. Mix together the sugar, baking powder, cornflour,
milk and egg yolks and remaining butter and cook stirring until thickened. Cool.
4 Whisk egg whites until softly stiff and fold into custard. Pour into the pastry
case. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Bake at 180°C (350°F) mark 4 for 30
minutes.
