Helen Lederer makes the dessert classic of redcurrant tart for the celebrity week of Come Dine With Me.
1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
2. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the lemon zest and egg, and mix together to form dough. Wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
3. Grease a 15cm diameter tart tin. Roll out two thirds of the dough to a thickness of 5mm and use to line the tart tin.
4. Pack the redcurrants tightly into the flan case and press them firmly into the dough. Roll out the remaining dough trimmings into a circle 5mm thick. Lay it over the redcurrants, cut off the excess dough, and then press the edges gently down inside the ring to seal.
5. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. To bake the tart, set the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5.
