  1. Making the pastry ahead breaks up the workload, and the longer resting times result in a pastry that shrinks less when baked. Leave the tart to cool before serving with clotted or double cream to cut through the sweetness.

    Freeze egg whites in a freezerproof container, marked with the date and number of whites, for up to 3 months.

  2. Make the pastry up to 2 days ahead, wrap well and chill. Line the tart tin with the pastry up to a day ahead, cover and chill, or line the tin and bake the tart case up to a day ahead. Keep leftover tart chilled for up to 3 days.

  3. Chill a golden, citrus-tinged dessert wine such as moscatel de valencia. If you’re after a soft drink, a high-quality bottled cloudy apple juice.
