A LA CARTE'S LEMON TART
>From The Chicago Sun-Times, 2/1993
Crust:
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
Filling:
4 eggs
5 egg yolks
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 cup sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Whipped cream, fresh raspberries and mint leaves (optional garnish)
To make the crust: Combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry
blender or 2 knives. Add egg and stir until dough forms a ball. Cover and
refrigerate until chilled through.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough 1/8 inch thick to fit a 10-inch tart
pan. Line bottom of pan with aluminum foil. Place crust in pan and fill pan with
rice or dried beans to keep crust from buckling. Bake in a preheated 400-degree
oven for 10 minutes. Remove rice or beans and bake 3 to 4 minutes longer, until
browned. Let cool thoroughly before filling.
To make the filling: Beat eggs and yolks together in a bowl or the top of a
double boiler. Add lemon juice and rind; whisk vigorously to combine. Gradually
add sugar, whisking in each addition thoroughly.
Place bowl over a pan of hot (not boiling) water. Stir constantly until
mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
Mix thoroughly and pour into cooled crust. Chill.
To serve, decorate with whipped cream, raspberries and mint leaves if
desired. Serves 8.
