Lemon Tart (Tarte Au Citron)
Simple and elegant. Sweet buttery shell filled with an ample dose of luscious lemon curd. Finished with a generous piping of toasted Italian meringue. The bright tang of proper lemon curd is balanced with a rich, buttery finish.
Histoire Brève:
We can thank the Roux brothers, sibling chefs and restaurateurs of the two Michelin star, Le Gavroche of London, who in 1967 took the English lemon tart and reimagined (cough: improved) it into Tarte Au Citron. Not long after it was adopted as one of the staple French pastries. It’s been said that eating proper lemon tart is like taking a bite of sunshine.
