a classic zesty citrus tart with a sweet pastry base and creamy toasted marshmallowy meringue topping mmmm......
YUM! I honestly don't know how people do it making this with "packet mixes". the ONLY way to cook, is from scratch. admittedly some people don't have time or the money, but wow, this one is budget friendly and fast...every time i make it people are stunned that i've made everything by hand. which makes me smile because i know they must have liked it =)

Инструкции
- For the Pastry:
- Process flour, sugar and butter together until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add yolk and chilled water. Process until pastry just comes together, adding more water if necessary.
- Turn pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until smooth. Shape into a 2cm-thick disc. Wrap in baking paper. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll out. Pre bake at 180 for 10â15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- For the Filling:
- To make the filling, combine the sugar and cornflour in a medium saucepan. Gradually add the lemon juice and water while stirring continuously until mixture is smooth. Place saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
- Add the lemonrind, egg yolks and butter. Continue stirring until the butter is melted and mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and immediately pour into pastry case, smooth over top for an even filling.
- To make the meringue topping, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add cream of tartar and sugar. Continue beating until sugar is dissolved.
- Reduce oven temperature to 180°C. Top pie filling with meringue. Bake in oven for 5-10 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Stand for 5 minutes before serving.
