A Lady in Disguise Loves Tarte au Citron

You can make it and love it, too!

     Lady Briana, the heroine of A Lady in Disguise, orders the Lemon Tart from the historic Gautier’s Bakery across from her house in Berkeley Square, London (historic picture above).
     Quoted from the French Cooking Academy website: “The French Style Lemon Tart . . . is made out of a creamy and buttery cream infused with a sharp lemon flavour. The filling (similar to a lemon custard) is typically poured into a pre-baked homemade sweet and biscuity shortcrust pastry shell.  However, we shouldn’t forget that the origin of the lemon tart (or lemon curd) actually originated from England and was modified in the French kitchen to become what is widely recognised as Tarte au Citron today.”
