## Steps

1. Pastry: blend plain flour, icing sugar, salt and butter in a food processor until crumbly. Bring the dough together in a bowl with the beaten egg and, if needed, a little cold water. (3 min)
2. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. (5 min)
3. Line a greased 24cm pie tin with the dough, press into the edges and trim off the excess. Prick the base with a fork and cover with a sheet of baking paper.
4. Fill the base with dried beans and blind-bake in an oven preheated to 175°C (fan) for about 15 minutes. (15 min)
5. Remove the base, take out the paper and beans, and bake for a further 5 minutes. (5 min)
6. Arrange sliced nougat over the pastry base and let the pie cool. (1 min)
7. Salted caramel: heat the double cream to just boiling in a small saucepan and turn off the heat. Tip the sugar into a pan and set over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium heat once half the sugar has melted.
8. Add the butter, mix well, then gradually pour in the hot cream. Bring the caramel to the boil and turn off the heat. (2 min)
9. Mix well and put the pan of caramel in the fridge.
10. Assemble the pie: stir ½ tsp flaky salt into the chilled caramel and spread half the caramel over the cooled pastry base. (2 min)
11. Scatter all the nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios) over the caramel and pour over the rest of the caramel. Chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. (3 min)
