Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for the tart crust
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the crust
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 large eggs for the custard filling
  • 1 cup granulated sugar for the custard
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Food processor or pastry cutter
  • 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
  • Saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • Whisk
  • Fine-mesh sieve

Method
 

  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or food processor to cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 pinch salt
  2. Bake the crust in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and set. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. In a saucepan, whisk together eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Allow to cool slightly.

  4. Pour the cooled custard into the prepared tart crust, spreading evenly. Arrange fresh raspberries on top of the custard, pressing them gently into the surface.
