- Title: Lemon tart
- Categories: Desserts
- Servings: 6

- 250 g Sweet flan pastry - tart tin
- Butter and flour for the
-
-
- 3 x Eggs 1 x Juice of 1 orange
- 1 x Egg yolk 1 1/2 dl Double cream
- 1 x Juice of 3 lemons 150 g Sugar
-
- Pre-heat the oven to 260 oC (500 oF).
-
- Butter and lightly flour a 20 cm tart tin with a removable base. Line it
- with the pastry and blind-bake it for 10-15 minutes. Take care to protect
- the pastry with a disc of aluminium foil, which should be pressed up to
- and over the edges before it is weighted down. When itis cooked, let it
- cool without taking it out of the tin. Lower the oven temperature to 180
- oC (350 oF).
-
- Whisk all the ingredients for the tart filling together - the eggs, orange
- and lemon juice, cream and sugar.
-
- When the mixture is nice and frothy, pour most of it into the tart shell.
- The mixture needs to come right to the top, but to avoid spilling it put
- the partly filled tart into the oven (with the temperature now reduced)
- and finish filling it with a spoon.
-
- Bake the tart with the oven door ajar, and wait until the filling has
- become firm. This should take about 35 minutes. Check the firmness of the
- filling by giving the tin a little shake.
-
- Take the tart out of the tin when it is lukewarm and leave it on a cake
- rack to cool.
