6 tablespoons ice water

350 ml double cream

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4
Mix in the egg-yolk and sufficient iced water to bind the ingredients.
5
Knead the dough lightly, and then chill in the refrigerator for thirty minutes. (I always cover the pastry with clingwrap).

While pastry is 'resting',

Melt half the butter in a frying pan and cook the bacon pieces gently until lightly coloured.

Put the cream and eggs in a bowl and whisk together. Add the grated nutmeg and seasoning.

Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces over the base of the pastry case and dot with the remaining butter.

Pour in the cream and egg mixture.
