Tarte au citron

Step 1

Add flour, butter, and confectioner’s sugar to a food processor and pulse briefly. Separate a part of the eggs and add yolk as well as cold water to the food processor. Pulse until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for approx. 15 min.

Step 2

Grease a tart pan with some butter. Thinly roll out dough and place in tart pan. Trim edges if needed. Return to refrigerator and let rest for a further approx. 30 min.
