Make a well, drop in the egg, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients and knead to form a dough. Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Roll out to fit the flan tin, using a little fine matzo meal to stop the rolling pin from sticking. Prick all over, and chill whilst preparing the filling topping.
