My go-to when I need a birthday cake, go-to when I need a dessert for a dinner party that I need to be able to make the day before because I&#8217;m busy, go-to when I have a friend who is down in the dumps and needs a tasty treat, go-to when I want to spoil The Chef as it&#8217;s his favourite (and mine).<\/p>\n<p>I have adapted the recipe\u00a0over the years\u00a0from the Australian chef Guy Grossi&#8217;s\u00a0fabulous italian book &#8216;Grossi\u00a0Florentino &#8211; Secrets and Recipes&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>With a delightfully smooth lemon cream and sweet short pastry, this tart is indulgent, satisfying and&#8230;just perfect.<\/p>\n<h1>Recipe<\/h1>\n<h2>Ingredients Filling<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>11 eggs<\/li>\n<li>Grated zest and juice of 4 lemons<\/li>\n<li>200grams\u00a0caster sugar<\/li>\n<li>300ml cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ingredients Pastry<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>250grams\u00a0unsulted butter<\/li>\n<li>500grams flour<\/li>\n<li>325 grams castor sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 egg yolk<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>Grated zest of 2 lemons<\/li>\n<li>Egg wash (1 egg whisked with a pinch of salt)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Method<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>To make the pastry, run the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.<\/li>\n<li>In a seperate bowl, whisk the eggs, the yolk and the sugar together until pale and fluffy.<\/li>\n<li>Add the salt and lemon zest to the sugar\/egg mixture, then add this to the flour mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Do not overwork, but mix the liquid ingredients into the flour until it comes together into a ball of pastry.<\/li>\n<li>Refrigerate for 30 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat\u00a0the oven to 200 degrees celsius. Grease a 24cm x 5 cm deep springform tin.<\/li>\n<li>On a floured work surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll our the dough to the thickness of 5mm.<\/li>\n<li>Line the tin with the pastry. Cut of any excess dough with a sharp knife, and patch up any holes with the leftover pastry.<\/li>\n<li>Refrigerate for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Line the pastry with foil and fill with rice or dried beans to blind bake the pastry, although this isn&#8217;t absolutely necessary. Neglecting this step will just mean the pastry will rise very slightly and won&#8217;t be absolutely even but this is ok.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the pastry shell for 15 minutes, remove from the oven.<\/li>\n<li>Brush the pastry with the egg wash (1 egg whisked with a pinch of salt).<\/li>\n<li>Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes until the egg gas set which will seal the tart case.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the oven temperature to 100 degrees celsius.<\/li>\n<li>To make the filling, whisk the eggs. Then add the juice and sugar and whisk until well combined.<\/li>\n<li>Fold the cream through the egg and lemon mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Gently pour the filling into the tart case and bake for 1 hour 30 mins on the bottom shelf of the oven until just set.<\/li>\n<li>The tart should have a slight wobble in the very centre when you shake the tin back and forth.<\/li>\n<li>Allow to cook for several hours before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Extras<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Oranges also work well as a substitute for lemons, although you will need to cut the sugar in the filling by half.<\/li>\n<li>There may be extra pastry left over. This can be frozen for later use, or can be rolled out to make biscuits (bake for approximately 10 minutes on 180 degrees).<\/li>\n<li>The tart may crack after cooling, which means that the oven was too hot. It&#8217;s ok, just make a note of it for next time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=1870#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1870\" title=\"sliceonewrit\" src=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/11\/sliceonewrit.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my go-to recipe.
