Lemon curd tart with Meringue - 5/26/07
Tonight we are going to Phuc's and Huyen's house to celebrate Spencer's 9th Birthday! The theme tonight is Steak and Bordeaux so to stay with the theme I decided to make French pastries such as a Lemon-curd tart with Merigue, Classic Tarte aux pommes and les Canneles de Bordeaux, a specialty of Bordeaux. Let's start with the Lemon curd tart!

Preparation work..
|
First I have to bake the crust made of Pâte Sucrée thenI filled it with Lemon curd. Lemon curd is basically a mixture of whole egg, egg yolk, sugar and lemon juice cooked in bain-marie until it thickens. |
Here I am piping the Meringue |
Meringue is made with egg white and sugar and then whipped until stiffen.
I am done with decorating the tarts! The next step is to put them under the broiler
for 5 minutes and Voila they are done and ready to eaten.
