The Lemon Tart

Ingredients:

1 shortbread dough (recipe)

75 cl melted butter

4 citron

4 eggs

315g sugar

125 cl water

Method:

1. Warm up oven to 200°.
2. Use one spoon of butter to cover the entire tart form to avoid the bound to stick during the the cooking.
3. Take the shortbread dough you have prepared from the fridge and let it breath at room temperature for 10 minutes.
4. Roll the dough with a roll-pin to form a circle of 30 cm in diameter and 3 mm thick. Place the dough inside the tart form. Make plenty of holes with a fork and place a baking paper on top of the dough that you will cover with dry beans. Dry beans will keep the tart bound flat during cooking and place it in the oven for 15 minutes.
5. During those 15 minutes of cooking time, prepare the lemon curd by making a zest with the four lemons and prepare 125cl of lemon juice. Whip lemon juice, lemon zest and eggs together in a bowl. Add sugar and whip ferm, then blend 75cl of melted butter inside.
6. When the tart bound is half-cooked (15 minutes cooking) , take it out from the oven. Add the lemon curd inside the tart and put the whole back in the oven for 20 minutes.
7. When the tart is cooked, let it cool down several hours before eating.
