Lemon curd under a toasted meringue cloud, the pie of perfect peaks. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, cold
Salt1/2 tsp
Lemon1
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar1 tsp
Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.
2
Toss the butter through the flour, add just enough cold water to hold, and press into a disc.
3
Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.
4
Layer in the lemon with the egg yolk so every slice gets a full cross-section.
5
Bake until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles at the vents, 35-50 minutes, then rest twenty minutes.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
