FRENCH LEMON TART - TARTE AU CITRON
Recipe video above. This is an elegant, classic French Lemon Tart recipe that's totally straightforward to make. The lemon tart filling is my ideal version: smooth and melt-in-your-mouth creamy, and not too sweet or too sour (like so many recipes seem to be??!). It's set just enough so you can cut neat slices.The tart crust is a French Sweet Tart Crust called Pâte Sucrée. It's tastier and easier than the usual shortcrust. This is the only tart crust recipe you will ever need!IMPORTANT: Readers have had problems with butter splitting in the lemon curd. This occurs if heat is too strong. Please use low heat, as per recipe directions! :)

Steps:
- Make tart crust per linked recipe, including blind baking the empty tart crust. Allow to fully cool before filling (to ensure it won't go soggy).
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 180℃/350℉ (160℃ fan)
- Whisk ingredients together: Put all ingredients in a medium saucepan and whisk to combine.
- Thicken on stove: Place the saucepan on the stove over low / medium low heat. Whisk constantly, especially as the butter is melting, to ensure it doesn't split. Keeping stirring until the mixture thickens enough to visibly mound (ie. holds its shape briefly) on the surface when dolloped - about 5 minutes, though it might take longer depending on stove strength, saucepan heat retention etc. See video and photos for thickness guide. Don't take it off the stove until it's thick enough otherwise the Filling won't set.
- Strain into a bowl using a fine mesh strainer.
- Fill tart: Pour into tart shell and smooth the filling surface using an offset spatula or similar.
- Bake: Bake for 5 minutes. It will still be a soft custard when you touch it but not liquidity. It will set more when cooled so it's sliceable.
- Cool: Cool tart fully to allow it to set before slicing to serve. Pictured with a dollop of creme fraiche (a thick, rich cream that has a slight tartness, and goes very well with the lemon tart) or whipped cream and even vanilla ice cream.
- Decorate if desired with lemon slices, edible flowers, raspberries. Else pipe on dollops of whipped cream or dust with icing sugar!

Steps:
- To make the lemon curd: In a medium heatproof bowl, place eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and heavy cream, if using, and whisk to combine. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie). Cook on moderate heat, whisking constantly, until mixture becomes thick (mine was ready in 10 minutes, but it can take up to 20). If you have a thermometer, it should register 170°F/75°C; otherwise, it should coat the back of a wooden spoon and leave a clear pass if you run your finger through it. The curd will thicken more once cooled.
- Remove from heat and immediately strain mixture through a sieve. Add butter, a few cubes at a time, and whisk until completely melted and incorporated, and mixture is smooth. Take your time with it-the whisking makes for an airy and light texture. Allow to cool to room temperature before filling the tart. (Lemon curd can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or can be frozen for up to 2 months. To thaw, place overnight in the fridge. Whisk the mixture to smoothen it before using.)
- Fill the tart shell with lemon curd, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours until chilled. Serve with berries and whipped cream if you like. The tart is rich, so cut your servings small.
FRENCH CITRUS ( LEMON) TART FILLING
This is the basic old French lemon tart filling which I recalled from my childhood -it took me years to find it. Unlike most lemon tart filling recipes out there,this is clearer in content and is thickened through heating I buy my pastry cases so have not included a recipe for them-thin to med thickness, semi sweet, pastry cases work best

Steps:
- In a bowl beat the egg yolks and sugar then slowly add juice of 2 lemons.
- plus zest ( finely grated skins)
- Slowly add melted butter then place all ingredients back into a medium heated pot and stir until mixture thickens and appears creamy in texture.
- You are now ready to fill your pastry cases.
- I put my filled tarts in a medium heated oven for 5 mins to bind the tart and casing although it can be eaten if the casings are precooked.
- -Note the egg white is not used but can be added if desired by beating whites untill stiff then adding a few tbsps of sugar slowly.When of meringue consistency pipe rings around the outside of the pastry shell or if desired make small peaks over the top of the lemon mix.this addition works best when you are using home made pastry cases as it requires slightly longer cooking at a lower temperature.
