Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 teaspoons (or more) chilled whipping cream
1 egg white, beaten to blend
Filling
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup whipping cream
4 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (packed) finely grated lemon peel
Lemon slices (optional)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Using on/off turns, blend in butter until coarse meal forms. Add 4 teaspoons cream. Using on/off turns, blend until moist clumps form, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold overhang in, pressing to form double-thick sides. Bake crust until golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 18 minutes (small cracks may appear). Brush inside of hot crust twice with egg white. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For filling:
  • Whisk 3/4 cup sugar, cream, yolks, and eggs in bowl to blend well. Mix in lemon juice and lemon peel. Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is slightly puffed at edges and set in center, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat broiler. Place tart on baking sheet. Cover edge of crust with foil to prevent burning. Sprinkle tart with 2 tablespoons sugar. Broil tart until sugar melts and caramelizes, turning sheet for even browning, about 2 minutes. Transfer tart to rack. Cool until topping is crisp, about 1 hour.
  • Push tart pan bottom up, releasing tart. Place on platter, garnish with lemon slices, if desired, and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepared, and equipment is ready. This helps ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Zest the lemons finely: Use a Microplane to zest the lemons, as finer zest distributes better and releases more flavor.
  • Temper the eggs: Slowly whisk hot liquid into the eggs to prevent them from curdling. Gradually increase the amount of hot liquid being added as you whisk.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the tart in a water bath helps distribute heat evenly, preventing the filling from curdling or cracking.
  • Chill the tart thoroughly: After baking, refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
  • Use a kitchen torch: For the best results, use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar topping. Move the torch in a circular motion to ensure the sugar melts evenly.
