Description

There are different ways to make a lemon tart. This is the quintessential French tart, found at patisseries and cafes year-round. Cool, sharp lemon filling contrasts nicely with the flaky, slightly sweet pastry. A dollop of cream served with the dessert makes the ideal treat.

Ingredients

  • 8 T butter (softened)
  • 2 T sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 c flour
  • 6 T softened butter for filling
  • 2⁄3 c sugar for filling
  • 1⁄4 c heavy cream
  • 3 lemons (the juice and zest)

Instructions
