Lemon Tart

A patisserie classic, made with crisp sweet pastry and a smooth, sharp Lemon filling. The balance is the thing here: buttery pastry, bright citrus and just enough sweetness to soften the Lemon’s natural acidity. Served chilled, it’s fresh, elegant and clean on the palate.

History

Lemon tarts have a long history in European patisserie, with versions appearing in French, Italian and British baking traditions. The French tarte au citron is perhaps the best-known expression: a simple, elegant tart that relies on good pastry and a well-balanced Lemon custard rather than decoration or complexity.

Its popularity has endured because it does one thing beautifully – sharp Lemon, rich butter and crisp pastry in perfect balance.
