INGREDIENTS: 

SERVES 8
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 65g/2½oz/5 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar
  • 45ml/3 tablespoon plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 300ml/½ pint/1¼ cups milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2.5ml/½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 450g/1lb/2⅔ cups fresh raspberries
  • 75ml/5 tablespoon red currant jelly
  • 15ml/1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
FOR THE PASTRY
  • 190g/6½oz/1⅔ cups plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2.5ml/½ tsp baking powder
  • 1.5ml/¼ tsp salt
  • 15ml/1 tablespoon sugar
  • Grated rind of ½ orange
  • 75g/3oz/6 tablespoon cold butter, cut in pieces
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 45-60ml/3-4 tablespoon whipping cream

STEPS:

  1. For the pastry, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Stir in the sugar and orange rind. Add the butter and cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the egg yolk and just enough cream to bind the dough. Gather into a ball, wrap in baking parchment and chill.
  2. For the custard filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and lemon coloured. Gradually stir in the flour.
  3. In a pan, bring the milk and salt just to the boil, then remove from the heat. Whisk into the egg yolk mixture, return to the pan and continue whisking over medium high heat until just bubbling. Cook for 3 minutes to thicken. Transfer immediately to a bowl. Add the vanilla and stir to blend.
  4. Cover with baking parchment to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 400°F/Gas 6. On a floured surface, roll out the pastry 3mm/⅛in thick, transfer to a 25cm/10in pie dish and trim. Prick the base with a fork and line with crumpled baking parchment. Fill with baking beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans. Continue baking until golden, 6-8 minutes more. Leave to cool.
  6. Spread an even layer of the pastry cream filling in the pastry case (pie shell) and arrange the raspberries on top. Melt the jelly and orange juice in a pan and brush on top to glaze.
