  • Place parchment paper on top and sprinkle with weights, such as beans. This will prevent the shortcrust pastry from rising. Put in the oven for 10 minutes at a temperature of 170 โ„ƒ. Then remove the weights and paper, and bake for another 10 minutes.

  • Make the lemon custard. First, grate the zest finely and squeeze the juice. I got 90 milliliters from two lemons. Pour a cup of sugar into a saucepan, add two egg yolks (set aside the whites in the refrigerator for now).
    2 pcs egg, 2 pcs lemon, 1.5 cup sugar
    Sugar, egg yolks

  • Stir to remove lumps and add the remaining milk.
    400 ml milk

  • Place on low heat on the stove. Stir constantly, do not leave. After a couple of minutes, the custard will thicken quickly, which means the cornstarch has thickened. Add the remaining butter. It will melt immediately.

  • Add lemon zest and juice.

  • Stir. The mixture will have the consistency of sour cream. If the crust is ready by this time, you can continue immediately, if not, then place cling film directly on the surface of the custard to prevent it from forming a skin.

  • Spread the lemon custard on the shortcrust base and smooth it out.
