WHO ELSE IS PISSED OFF AT HOW THEY CUT IT

[layoverbear]

I'm french and the fact that you didnt put meringue on it makes my heart a bit sad

[TheSerpant]

Did anyone else get upset when the crack showed up when they cut into it? 😭

When life gives you lemons, you watch a buzz feed video then don't make anything

[mathiasmaes]

I just tested this recipe, some things I noticed:

-The textual recipe is different from the vide recipe. I went for the textual recipe (more sugar and butter) because 100g sugar seems a little bit to little for 200 ml lemon juice

-Everything else is straight forward, but don't try to whisk this mixture by hand until thick. I started by hand as shown in the video. But quickly changed and used a electric mixer. The electric mixer needed more than 10 minutes to get it thick. I would have taken me over half an hour by hand.

I think this has to do with the absence of real measuring. 4 egg yolks and 4 eggs says absolutely nothing. Pastery needs to be measured. A big egg could have double the mass of a small egg. Maybe if my eggs were thicker, the whisking would be quicker.

Tip to tasty: Use real measurements, 100g egg yolks etc.

-Be sure to stay with the over, it burns really quickly!

I'm going to taste the result this afternoon.

Who else felt sooo satisfied from seeing the tart after it came out of the oven? So perfect!

Gordon Ramsey: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU CUTTING IT LIKE THAT YOU DAMN DONKEY!!

[reagan_k]

This recipe is the same but with customary units:

1 cup (250 ml) freshly-squeezed lemon juice
grated zest of two lemons, preferably unsprayed
3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
12 tablespoons (170 g) butter, salted or unsalted, cut into cubes
4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
One pre-baked 9-inch (23 cm) tart shell

You have to stir the filling constantly, or the egg will start to cook. You can do it in the saucepan but turn the heat down really low. Strain it after so you can get any pieces of cooked egg out. This turned out really good, I like it tart but you can add more sugar and taste it if you like it sweeter.
