1 tablespoon baking powder/bicarbonate soda

115 g/4 oz unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

25 g/1 oz caster sugar

1 egg yolk

1-2 cold water

175 g/ 6 oz butter, diced

350 g/12 oz golden granulated sugar/any sugar

100 g/ 3 1/2 oz plain flour/all-purpose flour

1/2 tablespoon vanilla essence

6 eggs, beaten

1) To make the pastry, sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, rub in the butter, and stir in the sugar, then add the egg and a little water to bring the pastry together. Turn the pastry out and knead briefly. Warp the pastry and chill the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2) Preheat the oven to 190 'C/ 375 'F. Roll out the pastry and use to line a 23 cm/9 inch loose based tart tin. Prick the pastry case with a fork. Line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and take out the beans and parchment. Reduce the oven temperature to 180 'C/ 350 'F.

3) To make the filing, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan of gently simmering water until melted. Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Place the sugar, flour, vanilla essence and eggs in a separate bowl and whisk until well blended . Stir in the butter and chocolate mixture.

4) Pour the filling into the pastry case and bake in preheated oven, 180 'C/ 350 'F for 50 minutes or until the filling is just set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
