Line the pie case with pastry and plug the holes so to speak with leftover pastry dont worry about it being neat it's meant to look homemade.

                                  Prick the pastry with a fork all over to stop it doming in the oven

Using non stick baking parchment line the base of the tart with baking beads or lentils or rice. Bake in a preheated oven at 200℃ for 10-15mins.
