Ingredients
- Pate Sable/Sable Pastry: 300g (look at basic recipe below!)
- Eggs: 4
- Butter: 180 g + 40 g for the tart molds
- Orange juice: 150 ml
- Lemons: 3 (organic if possible)
- Flour: a little for the molds
- Ice sugar for the finishing
- For the meringue:
- Egg whites: 2
- Sugar: 30 g
Directions
- -Prepare the pate sablee as indicated below. If you make a lot, you can freeze whatever is left. In France it can be bought at cake shops.
- -Lightly butter and flour the tart molds.
- -Spread the pastry and lay in the molds. Make a few holes with a fork and let rest 1 hour inside the fridge.
- -Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Wash the lemons with clean cold water. Finely grate their skins onto a small plate.
- -in a pan bring the orange juice, grated lemon skins, sugar and butter to a boil.
- -Take off fire, and mix in the eggs, one at a time, energically beating them all the time. When all eggs are completely mixed, put back on fire and heat until it starts boiling. Take off fire and let cool completely.
- -Lay a piece of cooking paper over the pastry in the molds. Fill it with dry beans (or cooking beads). Bake for 5 minutes. Take out beans and paper and cook again until you are satisfied with the colour of the pastry. Let cool.
- -Beat the egg whitesadding the sugar progressively until they âstandâ.
- -Pour orange and lemon custard into tarts. Then decorate top with a good part of meringue.
- -Sprinkle with ice sugar and bake for 3 minutes at 210 degrees Celsius.
- NOTE:
- Whereas pastry and custard can be prepared the evening before, the meringue must be prepared and baked at the last second (just before the meal starts)
