Lemon Curd Tart

Lemon curd on toast has always been loved by children, and home-made lemon curd in tarts pleases sophisticated adults in much the same way. The mixture of sharpness and sweetness combined with the satisfying crunch of sweet shortcrust pastry make a dessert which is easy and quick to prepare but has delicacy enough to end the most elegant meal.

For an even sharper and more flavourful variation, try replacing half the lemons with six limes.
