Claire Saffitz Makes Meyer Lemon Tart | Dessert Person

[@CSaffitz]

This Meyer Lemon Tart is definitely my go-to pick-me-up dessert during the winter months, what is yours?

[@lanelmuhammad]

Ice cream believe it or not

[@riskinhos]

pastéis de Belém

[@greeentealeaf]

stollen, but on a more important note, i'm sad that "claire fact" is still being used instead of "claire-ification"

[@Lleanlleawrg]

If by 'pick-me-up' you mean it makes me feel fresh and energetic, its probably lemon sorbet. If you mean emotional pick-me-up making me enjoy the fact its winter, I'd say brownie and coffee

[@tati.l.]

The cold makes me crave chocolate! It's currently Fall here, but it's still hot, so I have a feeling I'm gonna be baking the Forever Brownies A LOT in the upcoming Winter months.

Maya is so relatable. “quite rotund”, often in the kitchen looking for food, doesn’t like too much socialization...

This is not a KZbin channel, this is a MASTERCLASS ! Claire you are the best, dont tell anyone tell you otherwise! Your personality shines, you dont look fake. I have a kitchen similar to yours and you demonstrate that you dont need a humongous kitchen to make sensational deserts. You could have some merchandise to sell , like this famous apron you wear, it is your signature! Desert Person could be printed on it, maybe with your own cartoon image and coming out of a little pocket we could see a cat's paw. I love the little animations. Best of luck.

I’ve never seen that way of building a tart base with the strips of dough, I can’t wait to try that. I think of myself as a pretty good baker with plenty of years of reading and watching, and I still always learn a new tip from Claire, I love these videos Definitely want to make this for my mum

[@valarya]

[@patricia9001]

I set out to do this tart knowing I'd have to adapt. No Meyer lemons where I live, so I did the lemon curd with common lemons - it is now my go-to recipe for lemon curd, simply delicious! Then the fun started... the dough wasn't coming together in the food processor but I've had this issue before (with the focaccia), and I think it's simply because I use a flour with a higher water content. A couple of extra tablespoons of flour solved the issue. It really pays to know your flours! I realized midway that my tart pan (a pyrex one, since I don't own a metal one; I know, I know.) was 10-inch. So the parbaking took longer (because it wasn't metal), the dough was just enough to cover the pan, and I needed a tiny bit more of jam to cover the bottom. Also, the dough cracked quite a bit but armed with this new knowledge of how to fix cracks, I went on a quest to cover them all with very satisfying results. What a great tip! However, I think I took too much jam because it didn't quite set after 12 minutes (the book says 6 to 9; I am starting to think I really need an oven thermometer), at which point I decided to take it out lest the dough would be too dark in the end. Unfortunately, also due to this change in the size, the lemon curd was enough to fill the pan but it would not have hurt to have had more. Also, I got to use my new offset spatula :D Then I let it bake three minutes too long (literally) and it went from sunny yellow to golden brown on the top, hahaha. Oh dear. Well, I did the only thing I could do at that point, which was to let my poor browned, thin-layered tart to cool down and chill in the fridge. And then I tasted it and didn't really care that the whole thing was on its way to become an unmitigated disaster because you know what? It's one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted, period. So it doesn't look perfect - I do not care. That tart is not lasting long in this household, and it's definitely not the last time I'll do it.
