Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures

For the pastry

  • 500 ml plain flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 185 grams margarine
  • 1 medium egg (lightly beaten)
  • canola oil
  • dried beans

For the filling

  • 3 medium eggs
  • 2 medium egg yolks
  • 188 ml caster sugar
  • 125 ml cream
  • 2 lemons
  • 3 passionfruit (pulp)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190oC (375oF).
  2. To make the pastry, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and margarine. Add the egg and knead into a soft dough.
  3. Roll the dough to about 5mm (¼in) thick. (It's best to do this on plastic wrap, as it makes it easier to lift off the work bench and into the tin.
  4. Spray a loose-bottomed muffin tin with canola oil and line it with the pastry. Put baking paper over the pastry and fill with the dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the beans and paper. Bake for a further 3 minutes, until golden. (This process is called baking blind.)Allow to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 150oC (300oF).
  6. To make the filling,beat the eggs,egg yolks and sugar until thick. Add the cream and lemon juice and mix well. Strain the mixture into a jug and add the passionfruit pulp.
  7. Pour into the prepared pastry cases and bake for 20 minutes, until set (it should be a bit wobbly in the centre when tapped.)
