Inarguably one of the most beloved desserts across the globe. Lemon tart is a delicate pastry that is ideal for those who are not big fans of dense or overtly sweet desserts. A good lemon tart has just the right amount of citrus flavour to balance things up. The vibrant dessert hails from France, where it is also known as tarte au citron. In this dessert, a lusciously-whipped lemon curd is placed on buttery, shortbread crusts that are baked in shape of a thin dish with slightly lifted edges. Because it looks a lot like pie, in some parts of the world it is also known as lemon pie. There are two components to focus on here, the lemon filling, and the tart that needs to have just the right combination of butter and flour for the right texture.
