Pudding:Beat the butter until light and fluffy. While still beating add the sugar, salt and cocoa. Beat in the egg yolks, one by one. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold 1/3 of it into the chocolate mixture. When the batter is smooth, gently fold in the remaining whites. Transfer the mixture to a well-buttered ring mould and place it in a baking tray. Fill the tray with boiling water and bake for 45 minutes in a pre-heated 200C oven. Remove from the mould when warm.;Créme:Bring the milk to the boil. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and flour. When the milk starts to bubble, pour it over the eggs, a little at a time. Don’t stop beating while pouring the milk. Transfer the mixture back to the pan and reduce to a very low heat, stirring constantly. The cream is ready when it thickens slightly (or reaches 85C). Créme anglaise is a very light cream, do not expect it to thicken like a custard.

Add enough water into a pot to cover the eggs and bring it to a boil. Place the eggs carefully in the water, so they don’t crack. Cook from 9 to 11 minutes (depending on their size), rotating them once or twice. Remove the eggs, cool them in cold water and peel.

Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate and salt into a bowl. Add the beaten egg, ghee, yoghurt and mix in the milk gradually, until a soft dough is formed. Cover and leave it in a warm place for 2h. On a well-floured surface, knead the dough for 3min until smooth. Divide it into 8 portions and roll them into oval shapes, 15cm long. Brush with water and place wet side down on a greased baking tray. Brush top with ghee and bake in a preheated 250C oven until golden brown. If you have a pizza stone, it will work well.

Sift the flour with the salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter and yolk to form a soft breadcrumb texture. Add up to 50ml of water, working in just enough to make the crumb mixture come together. Cover with cling film and rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured surface and line a 26cm well-buttered flan dish. Chill again. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Trim the edges and line the base of the pastry with baking parchment. Fill it with baking beans (or anything that will weight it down).;Bake for 20 min. Remove the beans and parchment and return to the oven for another 5 min. Reduce the oven temperature to 160C/325F. Sprinkle grated cheese onto the base. Slice and fry the bacon pieces until crisp, drain and sprinkle them over the top. Mix the eggs, yolks, milk and cream in a bowl and season with salt, freshly ground pepper and grated nutmeg. Pour over the bacon and cheese. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool and set further. Serve in wedges.

Sprinkle with parsley and the chopped green spring onions. Serve with crusty bread.
