To make the pastry, put the flour, corn flour and icing sugar in a food
processor with a pinch of salt and pulse together. Add the cold butter
and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Beat the egg
with the milk and add. Pulse until the mixture comes together into a
ball, and cut the dough into 2 pieces. Roll out one of the pieces of
pastry fairly thinly on a worktop lightly dusted with flour. Using a 6.5cm / 2
1/2inch plain cutter, cut 12-15 circles from your pastry, repeat with the other
piece. Now take a small piece of spare pastry and wrap into a small ball
in some Clingfilm. Use this to press the pastry pieces down into the
silicone tartlet moulds or mini muffin tins. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. Lay 3 layers of cling film together and
place over the silicone tartlet mould
3. or muffin tin. Now push the cling
film into each hole and fill with rice or any dried pulses. Preheat oven
200c/fan 180/gas 6. Cook the lined pastry cases for 10 minutes then
carefully remove the Clingfilm and cook for a further 5 minutes.
4. Put a small dollop of chutney into each
case, followed by the cheese. Mix the egg and egg yolk together with the
cream, mustard and seasoning. Pour carefully into the tartlet cases. Top with
thyme and hazelnuts. Cook for 12-15 minutes until golden and set.
