a friend recommended me the lemon cream tart from carpenter and cook.. finally got a chance to try it last week and it was really good! i recall seeing a lemon curd recipe from joyofbaking.com so i decided to try make it myself :P
the video was really helpful as it showed just how thick the curd should be after like 10mins of constant whisking..
didn't take a picture of the bowl of lemon curd i made but anyway, i thought it tasted a little sweet so perhaps will reduce the sugar by about 50g the next time i make it..
for tart shells, i used my own recipe:
200g butter
100g icing sugar
1 egg
380g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
* Beat the first 3 ingredients until creamy then add in vanilla essence and plain flour to form a dough.
* Press pastry in tart mould and bake at 180C for 15 minutes. Leave to cool before use.
tart shells baking in the oven... made like 40+ shells...
applied a layer of chocolate in the inner shell to prevent the crust from becoming soggy after curd is added in it...
final product!
