No lemon curd. No stovetop. No stress. Just a zesty, silky lemon filling baked straight into a crisp, buttery pâte sucrée (sweet shortcrust). This classic French Tarte au Citron is light, elegant, and incredibly simple to pull off—even if you’re not an experienced baker.

J'adore lemon!!!❤❤❤❤
I love it!.
Can you please show me french dessert called coffee marquise on this coming episode?
A wee tip with the baking/greaseproof paper. Scrunch it up before using & then smooth it out; this breaks down the surface & allows it to conform to the tart base. This way your baking beads/beans will sit more evenly on the base, stopping any bubbling right up to the edge.
Beautiful. I love citrus tarts. At Christmas when we have a glut of tangerines & satsumas I'll use them, though lemon is always so refreshing. I also used to like a pomelo or grapefruit filling, but because of the high furanocoumarin levels & some meds I take I can no longer eat them. Yours turned out very nicely, I like that you didn't dust with icing sugar, showing off the beautiful colour.🍋
(P.S. another way to get rid of foam on a custard, you can pour it into the base & give a quick gentle wave over with a chef's blowtorch. The bubbles all pop & disappear.)
eaten with plastic forks? lol
Definitely ate that second slice
I like this recipe but it tastes a little too eggy for my taste.
It looks very lovley. I have a recipe for a lemoncourt Pizza, which I like very mutch. Your 's is easyer as you said. I will try your's very quickly. It looks very nice.
C'est manifique!
Use can use a blowtorch to get rid of the foam. A quick blast will do.
Great job though!
Weeev dis recipes you are really spoling us!
Why is it better to shape the dough when it's cold than when it's soft? Wouldn't working with it at room temperature make it less brittle?
Wonderful!
Gorgeous! 🍋 🥧
Beautiful tart
Please leave it to lemons, that is the pure, authentic ……
made it, its pretty good
Perfect!👌
Can the crust be made of crushed shortbread biscuits/butter mix? I really like the filling here.
Looks fabulous 😋😋 The problem I have with any runny filling into blind baked tart shell, is leakage. As soon as I start filling the tart shell the mixture begins to leak out of the bottom. The amount of times I’ve wasted ingredients has put me off baking this sort of tart. So, for me , frangipan it is 😂😂!! Thanks Chef ❤
