Lemon Meringue Tartlets





I got this recipe from my friend in Paris, she taught me how to make this fantastic classic French tartlet in the traditional way. The meringue that tops this tart is hand finished with blowtorch to give a dramatic look that could easily be served in a restaurant, and would impress your guests at any dinner party.


The base is similar to sponge cake, but this dish hides a secret! Hidden in the middle is a little oasis of lemon curd that is the surprise for everyone. The meringue is super-smooth and light in texture, having been whipped into soft peaks, then layered onto the base to cover the lemony surprise. When the tartlet is fully assembled, the pure white meringue is browned by using a blowtorch for that professional looking finish.


This tartlet is was my friends' good treat they loved it when I had that during my dinner party because of the sweet lemony taste it is a good idea to draw a finishing line to the dinner party.

Visitandines


This flavoursome treat is great idea for offering to visiting friends and family, as its named visitation. It has crunchy edges and soft in the middle almost chewy texture in the middle.

The ground almond makes it very wholesome nutty flavour and the lemon zest complements with a little hit of lemon aftertaste that blends very well with almond. You can dip into any no sugar coffee such latte or long black. It makes the coffee flavoured and sweetens the coffee too!

These lovely French biscuits are ideal to keep in your biscuit tin or store cupboard, ready for when you feel the need for that little bit of sweetness.
