Ingredients

Pastry
200 g Flour
155 g Butter
1 Eggs
4 Yolks
60 g Sugar
Salt, to taste
Lemon curd & garnish
4 Lemons (zest and juice)
45 g Cornflour

Proceedings

1

In a bowl, pour flour, sugar, salt and cold cubed butter.

Mix everything using the optimus whisk. Once a sandy consistency is reached, add the whole egg and the yolks.

Shape into a compact rectangle, line with baking paper and place in the fridge for at least two hours.

2
Roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 6 mm and place it in the tart mould. Trim the edges and bake using the Smart Cooking function for tarts.
3

Extract the zest from the lemons and the juice.

Strain the juice and add the cornflour and sugar. Pour everything into a saucepan and transfer to the induction hob on medium power.

Stir until all the sugar is dissolved.

Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and continue cooking in a bain-marie until the cream has thickened. Allow to cool.

Assemble the tart with lemon curd and garnish with meringues and lemon peel.
