Roll out pastry on floured surface and line a 22cm tart tin with pastry/chill for 15 mins in fridge.
Line with baking parchment and baking beans ( tip I use split peas) bake for 15 mins, remove beans and paper and then bake for another 10 mins.

(Tip use a hand blender if you find the sieve to much work I did)
