  1. Place the flour, salt, lard and butter in a mixing bowl and rub the fat into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add about 4 tbsp cold water to make a firm dough then wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 mins. While the dough is chilling preheat the oven to 220°C, 200°C Fan, Gas Mark 7. method tip
  2. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface until large enough to line a 23cm loose-bottomed flan tin. Line the tin with the pastry then line with a circle of baking paper, then fill with baking beans. Bake for 10 mins. Take out the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more until pale golden and cooked. Reduce the oven temperature to 180c, 160c Fan, Gas Mark 4. method tip
  3. Place the ricotta and the other cheeses in a bowl with the chives and eggs. Beat together until smooth then spread in the pastry case and bake for 20 –25 mins until just firm, but still has a little wobble in the centre. Allow to cool and serve at room temperature.
