lemontart

Ingredients

1 quantity of shortcrust pastry

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

1/2 cup castor sugar

80mls thickened or double cream

1/2 cup lemon juice

zest from 1 lemon

Method

  1. Line a pie dish or flan tin with pastry. Blind bake and cool.
  2. Whisk eggs and sugar until well combined. Add cream and whisk to combine. Add lemon juice and zest. Whisk well to combine.
  3. Pour into prepared pastry base. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes at 150°C.
  4. Cool and serve

The bigger the tart tin, the thinner the filling, but it is a very rich and ‘tart’ tart so a little goes a long way. Using a store bought pastry case will mean that this dish will take less than 5 minutes to prepare.
