  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will make it easier to work with and less likely to tear.
  • Blind-bake the crust before filling it: This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality lemon curd: This is the heart of the tart, so make sure it's good. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand.
  • Top the tart with fresh sage leaves: This adds a beautiful pop of color and flavor.
