Add more flour if it is sticky.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, lifting it up and throwing it down until it is very elastic. Work I more flour as necessary so it is slightly sticky but peels easily from the work surface. Add 125 g or 4 1/2 oz of the butter and pinch and squeeze to mix it into the dough. Knead for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth again. shape into a ball and put into the oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and chill for about 1 hour.

Melt the remaining butter in a pan. Add the carrots and cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.Add the mushrooms and turnips and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, add the spring onions and season.

Heat the oven to 200°C or 400 F and butter a flan dish. Play the dough mon a floured surface and lightly knead it to knock out the air. Roll out to a round, larger than the dish. Line the dish and spread the vegetable mixture in it. Whisk together the cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg with the remaining eggs and pour over the vegetables.
