Инструкции
- Prepare the pate sablee as indicated below. If you make a lot, you can freeze whatever is left. In France it can be bought at cake shops.
- Lightly butter and flour the tart molds.
- Spread the pastry and lay in the molds. Make a few holes with a fork and let rest 1 hour inside the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Wash the lemons with clean cold water. Finely grate their skins onto a small plate.
- in a pan bring the orange juice, grated lemon skins, sugar and butter to a boil.
- Take off fire, and mix in the eggs, one at a time, energically beating them all the time. When all eggs are completely mixed, put back on fire and heat until it starts boiling. Take off fire and let cool completely.
- Lay a piece of cooking paper over the pastry in the molds. Fill it with dry beans (or cooking beads). Bake for 5 minutes. Take out beans and paper and cook again until you are satisfied with the colour of the pastry. Let cool.
- Beat the egg whitesadding the sugar progressively until they âstandâ.
- Pour orange and lemon custard into tarts. Then decorate top with a good part of meringue.
- Sprinkle with ice sugar and bake for 3 minutes at 210 degrees Celsius.
- NOTE:
- Whereas pastry and custard can be prepared the evening before, the meringue must be prepared and baked at the last second (just before the meal starts)
