The Best Lemon Tart Recipe - So Lemony, So Creamy and So Dang Good

I decided to take down my website, so here’s the recipe instead thank you and sorry for the confusion

Lemon tart 24 cm 9.5 inch diameter loose bottomed tart case

The pastry

Plain or all purpose flour 230g - 8oz
Cold unsalted butter 150g - 5.3oz
Icing or powdered sugar 30g - 1oz
Egg 1
Cold water to bind

The filling

Medium eggs 6
Double cream 200ml - 0.8 cups - 6.7 fl oz
Caster sugar 220g - 7.5oz
Lemons 5

lemon tart a luxurious lemon cream filled pastry, the history of lemon tart is not well known, my little research suggests that the origin would be the south of France in the 18th or 19th century when lemons were first grown.
Some suggest that it could be inspired by the Florida classic key lime pie, who knows? Either way this lemon tart recipe uses a blind baked sweet pastry case, with the lemon cream filling baked slowly in the pastry case which differs from a lemon curd tart, where the lemon curd is cooked separately and poured into the pastry case.

Uncle Matt! Great news! I watched a few more of your videos the other night, and then the next day was making Cornish pasties so searched for your video specifically, and since then I've been getting one of yours that I haven't seen yet come up right near the top of my recommendations! So it has figured out that I want to see your videos, it just took watching a few in a row, and searching for one, and now I'm making sure to click on whatever it recommends each day so it doesn't stop. Yay!

I love any dessert with lemons and this looks just perfect

I did have too much pastry and filling for the size of pastry case I chose which was just over 9 inch and about 1 inch deep, so you can either chose a larger case or reduce the recipe by 25%. I cooked out my left over mixture over a very low heat for a few minutes to create lemon curd, very nice.

Looks scrummy! Will be around for some after lockdown... 😁

That was absolutely (probably) the best lemon tart recipe! 😉 Nice to see such a variant on the lemon filling. I am really partial to Lemon Cheese, over Lemon Curd, and this looks quite similar and I can imagine it is so tasty! Loved the tutorial and all the hints on the pastry too (as it is something I want to get better at, and I really wanted to make myself an Egg Custard Tart for my birthday, as there is no chance of finding one of those here)! Awesome job yet again! Enjoy your weekend!
