Jamie Oliver's Orange Curd Tart

Really tasty recipe by Jamie Oliver. The recipe uses a lot of eggs though, so it's a bit indulgent. I've altered it slightly, just to fit round what ingredients I had.
6 egg yolks
200g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest and juice of 3 oranges
Lime juice (to make the orange juice up to 230ml)
4 eggs
250g butter
 
For the pastry,
100g icing sugar
250g plain flour
125g butter
Zest of 1 orange
1 egg
Splash of milk
 
Pulse the pastry ingredients in a food processor until it forms a dough and chill. Preheat oven to 180C/gas 4.
In a saucepan on a low heat, whisk all the filling ingredients apart from the butter. Keep whisking for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add the butter in chunks and keep whisking for about 15 minutes until thick.
Roll out the dough and line the pastry into a 25cm tart tin. Bake blind for 15 minutes, then remove the baking beans and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Fill the tart when still warm.
 
Definitely worth making.
