Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. On a floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the pastry into a circle to fit a 20cm-wide pie dish. Put into the tin, crimp the edges, then cut off and reserve any excess pastry. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Roll out the remaining pastry and cut circles with different sized fluted cutters. Place on a floured tray; chill.
- Remove the pie dish from the fridge. Line with baking paper and baking beans, then bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans, then brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle over 1/2 tbsp of the sugar and bake for a further 5 minutes.
- Drain any excess juice from the berries. Put in a bowl, stir in the cornflour, orange zest and 100g (3 1/2oz) of sugar, then pour into the pie dish.
- Top the pie with the pastry circles, brush with beaten egg and top with the remaining sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden. Leave to cool completely before serving.
