LEMON CUSTARD TARTS

Steps:

• Pate Sucree Extra:Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. In a liquid-measuring cup, whisk together ice water and egg yolks. With machine running, add egg-yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky, about 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together; if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and divide in half. Shape each half into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Divide one disk into 6 equal pieces (reserve remaining disk for another use). On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a 6-inch round with a rolling pin. Using your fingers, press rounds into bottom and up sides of six 4-inch round tart pans. Trim edges and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line each tart shell with parchment, pressing it into corners and edges, then fill with dried beans, rice, or pie weights. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until sides are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove parchment and beans. Continue baking until bottoms are cooked through and lightly golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely.
• Filling:Whisk together condensed milk and egg yolks until thoroughly combined. Whisk in lemon juice. Divide filling among tart shells. Bake until filling is set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Refrigerate until well chilled.
• Italian Meringue:In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil. Continue boiling until a candy thermometer registers 238 to 240 degrees (soft-ball stage). Meanwhile, in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until stiff (but not dry) peaks form (do not overbeat). Increase speed to high and add sugar syrup in a slow, steady stream, beating until mixture stops steaming, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip; pipe as desired. Using a small kitchen torch held at a 90-degree angle, move flame back and forth 3 inches from surface of meringue until it starts to brown (or broil 6 to 8 inches from heat source, about 1 minute). Serve immediately.

• Tart:.
• In a food processor or blender, combine the lemon zest (7 med. sized lemons worth) with 1/4 cup of the sugar and process until fine and moist, several minutes.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, the 3/4 cup sugar, and the zest mixture. Whisk briskly until well blended. Stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice. Place the bowl over a saucepan half-filled with slowly simmering water and stir until the mixture thickens enough to lightly coat the back of a wooden spoon, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the butter, a piece at a time, mixing until melted and smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Immediately pour the lemon butter into the tart shells and set aside. The filling will set as it cools. Let cool completely before serving.
• Just before serving, lightly dust the edges of the tarts with powdered sugar.

LEMON TART WITH BROWN BUTTER-COOKIE CRUST

Steps:

• Make the tart shell: Melt butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until deep golden brown, about 11 minutes. Immediately pour browned butter into a large bowl, and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually stir into browned butter mixture. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Using the tines of a fork, pierce bottom of tart shell all over.
• Line tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are set and golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and continue baking until bottom of crust is dry and golden, about 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Make the lemon curd filling: Place 2 1/2 teaspoons cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, lemon zest, and egg yolks; whisk in lemon juice and salt. Add butter and place pan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and small bubbles form around edge of pan, about 5 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat while continuing to whisk. Add softened gelatin, whisking to combine. Strain curd filling through a fine-mesh sieve into the tart shell, spreading evenly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving; wash and dry the saucepan.
• Make the meringue topping: Just before serving, fill the same saucepan with about 2 inches water and bring to a simmer. Combine sugar, egg whites, and salt in a heatproof standing mixer bowl. Set bowl over (not in) simmering water, and whisk until mixture is warm to the touch and sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. (Test by rubbing mixture between your fingers; the mixture should be smooth.)
• Attach bowl to standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture is cool, about 10 minutes. Whisk in vanilla and cornstarch.
• Transfer meringue into a large pastry bag fitted with a large round tip; pipe meringue to cover filling, as desired. Place under broiler or use a kitchen torch to brown. Serve immediately.
