Steps to make French Lemon Tart:

1. THE PASTRY… In a small bowl, whisk the cream & egg yolk.
2. In a large bowl, combine the 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons of flour with the sugar and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Using a spatula, stir in the yolk mixture. With your hands, knead the pastry just until it comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 375° and coat a 9-inch fluted tart pan with vegetable oil spray. On a floured work surface, roll out the pastry to a 12-inch round and place it into the pan, pressing it into the corners.
4. Bake in the center of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely.
5. MEANWHILE, MAKE THE FILLING In a large saucepan, combine the whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice and salt and whisk until smooth. Cook the custard over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter a few pieces at a time, gently whisking until incorporated. Scrape the filling into the cooled tart shell and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
6. Serve with whipped cream for a light refreshing dessert.

Prepare the lemon curd by whisking the egg yolks, whole eggs, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest over a bain marie (a large bowl placed over a pan of simmering hot water). The French Style Lemon Tart is another delicious dessert whose popularity extends beyond French borders. It is made out of a creamy and buttery cream infused with a sharp lemon flavour. The filling (similar to a lemon custard) is typically poured into a pre-baked homemade sweet and biscuity shortcrust pastry shell. Not everyone thinks of citrus fruits as 'winter fruits.' But that's when oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons and limes are often at their peak.
