Ingredients
Method
- To make ice cream, melt butter in a small frying pan over medium low heat until dark golden brown.
- Heat cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until hot.

Stir over a low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in brown butter. Strain. Cool. Refrigerate until cold. Churn in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturers instructions.

- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line four 11cm round fluted loose based tart tins.

Should I grease my baking tins?
This helps stop food sticking. Brush the tin with melted butter or use some baking paper with a little butter on it to rub around the inside of the tin.
