Follow this recipe to make the basic flan or quiche case and then fill it with a filling of your choice.

I am a believer in ready-made pastry, it's cheap and easy and stores in the [[fridge]] ready for use.

I managed to buy a single sheet of reusable greaseproof paper from Wilkinson's recently. I looks like plastic but is oven proof and can be wiped clean and used again and again.

====Best recipe review====

''Take the beans out first.''

4/5 

This dork has baked the case with the beans in it. Very lumpy pastry!
