Trim off the edges and prickle the bottom of the dough with a fork

Take out the rice and greaseproof paper and brush the pastry with a mixed egg yolk

Notes
You can use salted butter as well, hover hold back a bit on the salt. We also find it easier to roll the dough onto the rolling pin before moving it over the Pie pan.
