Description
Citrus fruits are the main fruity note of winter in general, but especially during the New Year. They are essential on the table in all forms — fresh, as part of sauces, salads, and of course, in desserts.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
- Butter - 4.6 oz
- Chicken Egg - 4 pieces
- Egg white - 4 pieces
- Vanilla extract - to taste
- Salt - 1 tablespoon
- Sugar - 14.1 oz
- Lemon - 1 piece
- Oranges - 1 piece
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Sift the flour with a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Rub 100 grams of cold butter, cut into cubes, into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumb consistency.
Step 2
Mix 1 egg with 2 teaspoons of water and vanilla. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture into it. Knead the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Step 3
Roll out the dough into a 3 mm thick disc, place it in the tart pan, and refrigerate for ten to fifteen minutes. Trim the dough to fit the shape of the pan and cut off the excess edges.
Step 4
Line the dough with parchment paper, fill it with baking beans to prevent bubbling, and place it in a preheated oven at 356°F for twenty minutes. After ten minutes, remove the beans. Allow the crust to cool.
Step 5
Combine the juice of 2 lemons and 1 orange, the zest of 1 lemon and half an orange with 150 grams of sugar. Place it over a water bath. Once the sugar has dissolved, add 3 eggs and stir the mixture until it thickens. Then remove it from the heat and mix in 30 grams of butter. Check the consistency by dipping the back of a spoon into the cream and lifting it – the cream should not drip.
Step 6
Cover the cream tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to cool, then spread it over the cooled dough.
Step 7
Boil a syrup made from 240 grams of sugar and 100 ml of water.
Step 8
Whip the egg whites. Gradually pour in the syrup and continue whipping until the meringue cools down. Use it to decorate the pie and briefly torch it for a delicate brown color.
