Classic Lemon Tart with Powdered Sugar recipe

Ingredients:

For the crust:

1. – 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2. – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
3. – 1/4 cup granulated sugar
4. – 1 large egg yolk
5. – 2 tbsp cold water
   
   For the filling:
6. – 1 cup granulated sugar
7. – 3 large eggs
8. – 3 large egg yolks
9. – 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
10. – 1 tbsp lemon zest
11. – 1/2 cup heavy cream
12. – Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:

1. Make the crust: Process the flour, butter, and sugar in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Blend the dough until it comes together after adding the egg yolk and cool water. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour.

2. Prepare the crust by pressing the chilled dough into a 9-inch tart pan after rolling it out. Line with parchment paper, prick the base with a fork, and then fill with dry beans or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C). After removing the weights, bake for a further five minutes, or until brown. Allow to cool.

3. Prepare the filling by whisking the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice, and zest in a mixing basin. Add heavy cream and stir. Fill the chilled crust with the mixture.

4. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) in order to bake the tart. The filling should be just set after 30 to 35 minutes of baking the tart. Before taking them out of the pan, let them cool fully.

5. Complete and present:
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into slices. Serve cold or warm.
