Recipe notes by Raymond Blanc
In 19th century France, the lemon tart was so revered that it was served to the king as a symbol of wealth and goodness. It is relatively simple to make and so worth it for the zesty lemon tang and creamy custard – a delicious sweet and sour experience that cannot fail to delight your guests.
You could prepare double the quantity of pastry and freeze half for another dessert if you wish.
