Ingredients
Scale
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 125g cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 60g powdered sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1–2 tbsp cold water
- 3 large eggs
- 150g sugar
- 120ml fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 60g unsalted butter, cubed
- Fresh herbs or mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Make the tart shells: In a bowl, mix flour and powdered sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and cold water, mix until dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out and cut circles to fit tartlet tins. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- Make the lemon curd: In a saucepan, whisk eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and zest over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 7 minutes). Remove from heat, whisk in butter until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Assemble: Fill each tart shell with lemon curd. Smooth the tops and chill for 1 hour until set.
- Serve: Top with fresh herbs or mint for a modern touch. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Strain the lemon curd for a perfectly silky texture
