Step by Step guide
Step 1
Mix the flour (230 g), salt, butter (150 g), and water. Stir well until a crumbly dough forms. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Remove the dough and roll it out (I have a 28 cm mold). Place it in the mold. Prick the bottom with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with beans. Bake for 25 minutes at 392°F.
Step 2
Grate the zest of 1 lemon and squeeze the juice from three. Strain the juice. Pour the milk into a saucepan, add sugar (250 g), and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Whisk the yolks with the starch, then pour in the hot milk. Stir constantly. Place over heat. The mixture should thicken. Add the zest and juice. Gradually add the remaining butter. Keep on heat for another 3–5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Remove the dough. Let it cool. Once the dough is cool, pour in the lemon curd.
Step 5
Prepare a water bath. Mix the egg whites with sugar. Place over a pot of boiling water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Then start whisking at low speed. When the egg whites become cloudy, increase the speed.
Step 6
Whisk until the egg whites are fluffy and airy. Remove from heat. Place in a bowl of cold water and continue whisking until the egg whites cool down; they should feel cool to the touch.
Step 7
Pipe the meringue using a pastry bag or a regular plastic bag. Place in the oven for 10 minutes at 302°F. The meringues should brown slightly on top.
Step 8
Leave in the refrigerator for 8–10 hours. This way, the mixture will not spread.
