"Let me begin by saying a 23" flan tin is not big enough, it will spill. Use a springform tin like it says. Secondly where it say 300ml cream whipped, I used whipped cream. Thirdly, when making the pastry, I found that it did not need the water and don't try to roll it. Flatten as much as possible then, mould to your tin. I found this fun to make and the results were great. Melt in your mouth pastry and a filling that was just cooked but needed to be just so. It looked slightly undercooked but, in my view, that made the pie! Gorgeous!!"
