A decadent tart made with homemade shortcrust pastry, a smooth lemon cream and a delicious lightly golden meringue.
Preparing the shortcrust pastry
Ingredients
- 500 g of flour
- 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 125 g of sugar
- 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
- 250g of softened margarine
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough hook, mix all the ingredients in the order indicated.
When you obtain a homogeneous shortcrust pastry, add a little water if it seems too stiff.
Roll out the dough to a maximum thickness of 0.5 cm. Place it in a tart tin lined with parchment paper, taking care to press it well up the sides.
Bake the dough in the oven at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your oven.
With this amount of dough, you can make at least three pies. Freeze any leftovers to use in future recipes: a great way to save time!
Preparing lemon cream
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 100 g of sugar
- The juice of 4 lemons
- The zest of a lemon
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 large glass of water
Preparation
In a small saucepan, mix the egg yolks with the sugar, lemon zest and juice.
Dissolve the cornstarch in a large glass of water, then stir it into the mixture.
Heat gently while stirring until you obtain a cream with the consistency of a custard.
Allow to cool slightly, then pour the lemon cream over the already baked tart base.
Preparing the meringue
Ingredients
- Egg whites
- 180 g of sugar
- A little lemon juice
Preparation
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar, then pour in a little lemon juice while continuing to beat.
Using a piping bag fitted with a nozzle, arrange the meringue attractively on the tart.
Brown it under the oven grill at 240°C for one to two minutes maximum. Watch carefully: the meringue browns very quickly!
You can also replace the meringue with kiwi slices.
