Instructions

 

For the Crust:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
• Add the cold cubed butter and using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan to form the crust.
• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the crust for about 15-18 minutes until it turns golden. Let it cool.

For the Lemon Curd:

• In a saucepan, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and a pinch of salt.
• Place the saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
• Remove the lemon curd from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into the baked tart crust.
• Chill the Lemon Tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
• Garnish with fresh lemon slices or zest before serving this zesty delight.
