method
1. Tip the flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Rub in all the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, and sprinkle in about 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a firm dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, then roll out and use to line an 8in (200mm) flan or tin.
2. Fill with greaseproof paper and baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper, bake for 5 minutes more to dry out.
3. Wash the spinach and cook with just the water that clings to it in a saucepan for 8 minutes, drain well, and chop roughly. Reserving a few rings for garnish, de-seed and dice the rest of the pepper and cook in boiling water for 5 minutes.
4. Beat the eggs and milk together in a bowl, then add the chopped onions, spinach, pepper, nutmeg and seasoning. Spoon the filling into the flan and cook in the Oven for 40 minutes, until set.
