## Ingredients

- 150 g Plain flour
- 75 g Caster sugar
- 1 pcs Lemon zest — half a lemon's zest
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 pcs Egg yolk
- 90 g Butter
- 4 pcs Egg yolk
- 150 g Caster sugar
- 400 ml Milk
- 40 g Plain flour
- 1 pcs Vanilla pod — half a pod
- 30 g Walnuts — chopped
- 1 bunch Grapes — green and black, to taste

## Steps

1. Tip the flour onto the worktop in a mound, make a well in the centre and add the sugar, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and two egg yolks. Rub together quickly with your fingers.
2. Add the butter and knead vigorously until smooth. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge. (40 min)
3. Roll out the pastry to about 4-5 millimetres thick. Line a buttered tin, pressing well into the edges and trimming off any excess. Prick the surface with a fork.
4. Bake in a fan oven preheated to 175°C. (10 min)
5. Let the pastry base cool.
6. In a saucepan, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and sifted flour until well combined.
7. Gradually pour in the milk, place over heat and bring to the boil. Add the vanilla.
8. Cook, stirring, until the custard is thick and smooth.
9. Remove the custard from the heat. Stir in the chopped walnuts and leave to cool.
10. Wash the grapes, halve them and remove the seeds.
11. Spread the custard over the pastry base, smooth with the back of a spoon and decorate with the grape halves, alternating light and dark berries.
