Lemon Tart

[Lotus]

Does anyone happen to have a good, 'tried and tested' recipe for lemon tart? It's one my favourite desserts, and want to make them myself - but the few recipes I've tried off the internet were really not all that... So if you have one you swear by, please let me know - my taste buds will be ever so grateful!

Thanks :)

Thick Lemon Tart.

1. Pastry: Make to breadcrumbs 7oz plain flour and 3oz butter, add 2oz icing sugar and an egg yolk, pinch of salt. Blend into a pastry and chill 30 mins.  Bake blind in a 7inch, fairly deep flan ring or case.

2. Whisk 6 eggs and 7oz caster sugar together to combine. add the zest and juice of 6 lemons and 7floz single cream.  Pour into cold pastry case and bake for 30 mins or until set and nicely browned.  Cool and dust with sifted icing sugar.

I've made this on loads of occasions - it's just geowdgeous.
