Place the buttered circle on a baking tray lined with baking paper or a micro-perforated mat.
Darken it with the dough (in 2 steps: first the bottom then the edges).
Place the plate in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C then increase the oven to 200°C and prolong the baking for 5 minutes.
Watch the coloring of the flan and place a sheet of aluminum foil if necessary before the end.
Leave to cool then refrigerate for several hours (one night for me).
Uncover the flan when it is very cold.
