Divide the short pastry into two pieces, one of which will be twice the size of the other.

With the rolling pin, roll out the largest piece of dough, making a large disc just enough to cover the bottom and edges of the cake tin and then pour the mixture onto the dough, level it and cover it with a small piece of shortcrust pastry.

Add the two discs carefully to the edge, then brush the surface with the beaten egg, bake at 150 degrees for about an hour.
