- Brush the interior of your ring with butter (7.5 inches - 19 cm.) and place on a baking tray with baking paper (I used micro perforated round tart ring, micro perforated tray and Silpat non-stick mat).
- Roll the dough gently until you have an even 2mm thickness.
- Gently ease the dough into the sides of the ring, use your fingertips to press the pastry into the edges and up the wall of the tin.
- Using the knife, remove the overhanging pastry.
- Prick the base with a fork and refrigerate for 2 hours.
