To do this she use double cream and adds a vanilla pod. She then adds 4 egg yolks and caster sugar and mixed together before adding plain flour to thicken.<\/p>\n<p>She then pours in the cream mixture slowly, ensuring that the eggs do not scramble. She removes the vanilla pod and cooks the mixture for a few minutes to ensure the flour is cooked and the mixture formed into custard. It is then left to cool before transferring to the fridge to be nice and cold.<\/p>\n<p>Once cold, she removes it from the fridge and adds whipped cream. Fiona then fills the pastry base with the cold mixture and spreads evenly. <\/p>\n<p>She then adds fresh raspberries to completely cover the top of the tart, then spooned over red current glaze with rose water and sprinkled with rose petals for decorations.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* food and drink *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3648486817\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fiona Cairns joins Paul in his kitchen on today\u2019s Paul Hollywood Pies and Puds, to show the master baker how she makes one \n<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/11225\/paul-hollywood-pies-and-puds-french-raspberry-tart-by-fiona-cairns-the-maker-of-prince-william-and-kate-middletons-wedding-cake\/\"> [...]<\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11226,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[91],"tags":[166],"class_list":["post-11225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food","tag-food"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/frenchdesert.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11225"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11230,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11225\/revisions\/11230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
