Tarte au Citron AKA Lemon Tart Recipe | Cupcake Jemma

Yay you picked Tarte Au Citron as your winner of the Lemon Pie Off and DANG are we pleased. Tarte Au Citron is a CLASSIC French bake. (But unlike a lot of French baking it's really very easy.) This super smooth and silky Lemon filling is encased in a crisp and buttery Short Crust Pastry and is so perfect for a Summer picnic or a dessert for your dinner parties as you can make it earlier on in the day. Serve it with Creme Fraiche, Double Cream or even Ice Cream! You can store the tarte in the fridge for at least 4 days but we guarantee you won't be able to keep from scoffing it all straight away!
We would love to hear what you want to see on the channel so let us know in the comments!

But it's not a lemon meringue pie if there's no meringue. It's a tarte au citron.

Super super Vou fazer aqui em São Paulo 🇧🇷

[@Theknitnatchitchatshow]

This recipe was absolutely delicious- in fact it was so delicious that I made another one 2 days later ready for when the first one had gone with the leftover pastry and custard (I got the wrong size tin...whoops!) However both times my custard cracked and I wonder if it's because I cooked the filling for slightly longer than 25 mins as it still looked very wobbly after 25 minutes. I'm going to give this a go and see how cooking it for exactly 25 mins go- fingers crossed it won't crack!

[@sarahjasmine4749]

this was the most delicious thing i’ve ever made! i am a lemon tart fanatic but this was my first time making one and it was so easy and super delicious! i am on a tart craze now and have hunted down mini tart tins to practise with. the lemon filling ended up having cracks throughout it after it was baked, what would have caused this? over baking it? either way, me, my friends and family enjoyed every last bite of it. i can’t wait to make it again! thanks for this recipe Sally 😍 xx

[@yasemink5595]

Hi Sally and all in the comentary. I baked this and everyone loved it! Despite the fact that i mistakenly poured whole wheat flour into the mixture. However once i took the dish out the oven, my tart started to crack and cracks got wider as it cooled down. What are your suggestions to keep the tart all smooth and flat even when its ice cold?

[@kirannshahzad418]

ohh this was so cool! please can you do a lemon meringue pie one?

[@TxHoneyBee]

I baked this last night. I had no issue with the crust as some others did. Instead, I found that the filling wasn't totally set after 30 mins of baking. The flavor was very lemony tart. I didn't like it much until I cooled it and ate it the next day. Perhaps the filling flavors need to cool to settle and taste less strikingly tart. I liked the crust a lot. The filling is too tart, not creamy, lemony sweet as I thought it would be. Thanks for posting this recipe. It was easy and fun to try.

[@d.eckireug5915]

Thank you, sally! :-) From my holyday in France I only know tarte ou citron with a meringue-topping. Which kind of meringue would you recommend?

[@lindacarroll6381]

Hello Sally, Was your tart crust completely cooled when you trimmed the edge? Thank you! It's a beautiful tart, and a great tip for making a professional looking edge.

[@faryalmalik8001]

You are amazing 🤩 Just wondering when is jemma coming back? You two together will be dynamic duo

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED

[@redsquare4835]

I want to eat iiiiiiiit!!!!

[@jackybraun2705]

Could you take the pastry case out of the tin before you put in the filling and then bake it? It seems solid enough. Jemma did a tutorial where she baked a pie bottom for cold dishes where you would have to take it out of the tin before filling. Would that work or would the outside get cooked too much?

[@joanmenger2976]

Sally, What a delight I received to see you teach this recipe. (I'm finally able to spend more time at home and bake. I'm new to tart making so ... how did you got that tart so perfectly out of the pan?

I like using sugar to weight down, you get toasted sugar that adds flavor
