2) Roll down your dough, prick it with a fork and line a tart mold with it. set aside in the fridge.
3) In a bowl, place the flour and the sugars (caster and vanilla). Add the beaten eggs with the salt, the melted butter, mix well. When this is done, whisk in the cold milk. Make sure that they are no lumps.

It would be nice to have a recipe for the dough to use, as I do not know what dough I should use for making this flan, thanks!

Hi Lois You are right : the measure of butter to be used is unclear : use 20 grams (2/3 oz). I will correct in the translation (thanks to you)
