Directions:
- For the pastry:.
- Sift the flour and salt together. Rub in the butters. Stir in the sugar, then add the egg, mixing to a soft dough.
- Knead dough until smooth. Cover with cling film and chill for 20-30 minutes.
- For the filling:.
- Put the currants, spice and sugar into a large pan and add enough cold water to JUST cover the fruit.
- Bring to the boil, turn down the heat, and simmer gently for no more than 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat. Gradually add the custard paste, stirring until the fruit mixture thickens slightly (it will thicken more when cool).
- Preheat the oven to Gas 3. Grease and line a 30x18cm Swiss roll tin.
- Divide the pastry into half.
- Roll out the pastry and use to line the tin, pressing pastry over the base and the sides. Lightly brush the top edges with water.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into pastry case, spread evenly and pack well.
- Roll out the remaining pastry, slightly larger than the tin. Lay over the filling and pat down.
- Trim away the excess pastry and crimp the edges. Cut 2 slits into the middle of the pie.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes. Sprinkle the top with caster sugar while pastry is still warm.
- Serve hot or cold.
