Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c powdered sugar
pinch salt
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2" cubes
4 tsp whipping cream, chilled
1 egg white, to blend
FILLING
3/4 c sugar, plus 2 tbs
3/4 c whipping cream
4 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
1/2 c fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest, finely grated, packed

Steps:

  • 1. Crust: combine flour, sugar and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Blend in butter until course meal forms. Add 4 tsp cream, 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.,
  • 2. Preheat oven 350. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12" round. Transfer to 9" tart pan with removable bottom. Fold overhang in, pressing to form double thick sides. Bake about 18 minutes, until golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles. Brush inside the crust twice with egg white. Maintain oven temp.
  • 3. Filling: Whisk 3/4 cup sugar, cream, yolk and eggs in bowl to blend well. Mix in lemon juice & lemon zest. 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.
  • 4. Preheat broiler. Place tart on baking sheet. Cover edge of crust with foil. Sprinkle tart with remaining 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.
  • 5. Push tart pan bottom up, remove tart. Place on platter, serve.
