Gooseberry Pie

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, sugar and salt, then rub in the cold diced butter until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Add the egg and quickly bring the dough together, shape into a ball, flatten into a disc and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook the gooseberries with the sugar and 3 spoonfuls of water over low heat for 10 minutes, until they burst.
4. Thicken the fruit with cornflour mixed with a little cold water and leave to cool.
5. Roll out two thirds of the pastry into a pie dish and fill with the cooled gooseberries.
6. Cover with the remaining pastry in lattice strips or a vented lid, then brush with milk.
7. Bake at 180 °C for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden. Let it cool slightly before serving.
