Instructions
Preparing the shortbread dough
Mix the powdered sugar and salt with the butter (at room temperature) to whiten the mixture.
Stir in the egg.
Add the flour and sand with your fingertips.
Form a ball without overworking the dough.Strain and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Spread and line the tartlet moulds.
Prick the dough and bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 165°C.
Lemon-yuzu cream
In a saucepan, whisk sugar, juice and zest until boiling.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cornflour.
Add the egg and maizena mixture to the pan.
Cook over low heat, stirring until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter in pieces.
- Strain if necessary, then let cool slightly.
- Garnish the tart shells and chill for 30 min.
Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Melt the sugar with a little water to about 117° for an Italian meringue.
Gradually add the melted sugar, then the lemon juice to the stiffly beaten egg whites.
- Pocket or spread the meringue over the tartlets.
Brown with a blowtorch or place under the grill for 1-2 minutes (watch carefully!).
Recipe notes
Add a hint of yuzu paste for extra aromatic intensity.
Garnish with a few candied zests.
To save time, the cream can be prepared the day before.
Replace the French meringue with Italian meringue for a better hold.
