Lemon Tart

Cucina Toscana
Lemon Tart

A special dessert by our chef Valentina.

 

Ingredients:

5 egg yolks

70gr of starch

350ml of milk

100gr of sugar

1 lemon rind

 

Sprinkle the sugar and lemon rind together and add the egg yolks and starch and mix well.

 

Once it has amalgamated add the warm milk and continue to cook, without going over 85 degrees, until it has thickened. Then, leave to cool down.

 

Pastry dough:

1 egg

1 egg yolk

130gr of butter (room temperature)

300gr of flour

80gr of sugar

 

Knead all the ingredients and then wrap in clingwrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

 

Once the pastry dough is cold and ready, shape the tart and cook by itself for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.


It’s great as a dessert or for afternoon tea.
