Lemon Tart (Tarte au Citron)
This is a classic French lemon tart recipe (Tarte au Citron) that is surprisingly easy to make and incredibly delicious. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, this beautiful lemon tart is elegant in its simplicity, and even more impressive when served with a raspberry coulis. This tart recipe uses our easy Shortcrust Pastry recipe, which is then filled with a very tart lemon custard filling. You know this is an authentic French lemon tart when you get that pucker on your first bite!
