Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. You can also freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- To prevent a soggy crust, pre-bake the crust before filling it. You can also use a blind baking method, which involves filling the crust with pie weights or dried beans and baking it for 15-20 minutes before adding the filling.
- For a smooth and creamy filling, whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. You can also add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to help thicken the filling.
- To prevent the filling from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot lemon juice mixture. Then, add the tempered eggs to the remaining lemon juice mixture.
- For a perfectly browned meringue, use a kitchen torch to brûlée the top of the tart.
