Preparation

Step 1

Pre-cook the pastry at 160°C.

Step 2

Mix the egg yolks with the sugar, flour and cornstarch in a bowl.

Step 3

Finely peel the lemon and boil the milk with the zest.

Step 4

Off the heat, remove the peel, pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl. Mix with a whisk. It will still be a liquid.

Step 5

Squeeze the lemon into the bowl having removed the seeds first. Add sugar if necessary.

Step 6

Remove the pastry from the oven. Pour in the lemon cream. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 160°C.

Step 7

Beat the egg whites until stiff with sugar (50 grams for 1 egg white) and spread on top of the baked tart. Brown under the grill as little or as crispy as you like.
