Preparation

- Reserve about 150g of dough from the main ball for the top of the lattice.
- Spread the rest of the dough on a lightly floured surface and form the prepared flan mold with the dough.
- Prick the base with a fork to prevent it from rising during baking.
- Roll out the reserved dough thinly on cling film for the lattice top.
- Brush the dough with egg and set aside to cool in the refrigerator (the plastic wrap makes it easier to move).
