The Best Ever Lemon Tart
I've been making this for family tea for years and years. i think the basis of the recipe came from the back of a supermarket leaflet but i have tweaked it and all i can say about it is when i make one, there's never leftovers!!
Steps
Preheat oven to 190c , gas mark 5.
Melt the butter gently and mix together with the flour , icing sugar and water.
Press the soft dough into the base and up the sides of a fluted flan ring.
Pierce the base several times and bake blind on a baking tray in the oven for 20 minutes until golden.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150c , gas mark 2.
Grate the rind of the lemon and then juice.
Place caster sugar , eggs , cream , in a bowl with the lemon rind and juice.
Whisk together until blended , then carefully pour into the cooked pastry case.
Return to the oven and cook for a further 35-40 minutes until set.
Enjoy !.
