Instructions:
To Make the Pastry:
- If you have a food processor, add all the ingredients for the pastry into the bowl and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Alternatively, if making the pastry by hand, combine the flour and icing sugar in a bowl.
- Rub in the unsalted butter with your fingertips until you achieve a crumb-like mixture.
- Press the mixture evenly around the sides and bottom of an 8-inch flan dish.
- Refrigerate the flan dish for at least half an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4.
- Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
To Make the Filling:
- Place the orange rinds in a large bowl.
- In a separate jug, beat the eggs thoroughly.
- Add the unsalted butter and caster sugar to the orange rinds, then sieve in the beaten eggs.
- Mix all the ingredients together and rest the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Stir continuously until the butter has melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove the bowl from the heat.
- Stir the orange juice into the buttery mixture. Do not add the juice along with the rind at the previous stage.
- Pour the mixture of butter, sugar, eggs, orange rind, and juice into the baked flan case.
- Carefully place the flan back in the oven and bake at 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4 for fifteen minutes or until the filling is just set to touch.
- Remove from the oven and serve either warm or cool.
