Preparation Method :

To make the pastry dough, put the flour in a bowl, and then rub in the margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar and spice, then the egg. Mix to a firm dough.
Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface, then roll out and use to a line an 8 inch flan dish or flan ring placed on a baking sheet.
Line the dough with foil, then fill with baking beans or rice. Bake in a preheated moderately hot oven for 15 minutes, and then remove the foil and beans or rice.
Meanwhile, make the filling: beat the egg yolks and sugar together until light and creamy.
Stir in the walnuts and lemon rind and juice. Beat the egg whites until just stiff, and then fold into the walnut mixture.
Pour the filling into the flan case. Bake in a preheated moderate oven for 30 minutes until lightly browned and risen.
Decorate the pie with walnut halves and serve hot or cold.
