2. Roll out and line greased rectangular pyrex dish.
3. Mix together 1 dessert spoon flour and 1 dessert spoon sugar and sprinkle this over the unbaked pastry.
I made this recipe. However, when it came to filling up the dish it filled two containers. Much to much filling. When you say use a rectangular pyrex dish. what size do you mean. The egg whites too. The egg that you use for the pasty - do you just use the egg yolk and save the white for adding to the three other whites that go in the filling. It seems a lot of cream cheese but I only used to 2x 250 gm tubs not 750 gm and I still had plenty of mixture.
