Hi Lovelies!
So I've gone and done a bit of baking! (shock) but this time a went for something a bit out of my forte. You see I'm more of a cakey baker... I'm not very 'tartey'. In all honesty I try and stay away from tarts (don't we all?), but when my older sister commissioned me to make a lemon tart I couldn't say no.
I found a great recipe on BBC GoodFood where you make your own pastry. I made a large tart with my own pastry and a few mini owns with shop bought shortcrust pastry and I honestly preferred the taste of the tart using the pastry made from the recipe. It was sweeter and gave a good contrast to the tangy-ness of the filling.
Another note is that in the comments of the recipe page people kept saying that the recipe is great but they added more lemon juice so I used the juice of five lemons but only used 1 tbsp of lemon zest.
Anywho here is the unchanged ingredients list from BBC Good Food...
