Ingredients
THE CRUST
- 1 ¼ cups All-purpose flour
- ½ cup Sifted powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp. Table salt
- Minced zest of 1 lemon
- 1 Stick cold unsalted butter, cubed (½ cup)
- 1 Egg yolk (reserve egg white)
THE FILLING
- 1 Egg white
- 3 Eggs
- ¼ cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp. Cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups Whole milk
- ⅓ cup Honey
- 2 tbsp. Unsalted butter, cubed
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ cup Purchased or homemade lemon curd
THE GLAZE & BERRIES
- ¼ cup Apple or apricot jelly
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ pint fresh blueberries
- ½ pt. Fresh raspberries
- ½ pt. Fresh blackberries
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Using nonstick spray, coat a 9-inch tart pan and its removable bottom.
- Process the 1 1/4 cups flour, powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and lemon zest in a food processor until combined. Add 1 stick cubed butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Blend in the egg yolk; pulse until dough is crumbly. (It won't hold together.) Press dough over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Prick dough with a fork; bake until crust is golden, 12–15 minutes, then cool completely.
- Stir together egg white and lemon curd for the filling in a bowl; whisk in eggs. Combine the 1/4 cup flour, cornstarch, and salt in a second bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to the egg mixture.
- Bring milk and honey to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly whisk some of the milk mixture into the egg-curd mixture to temper, then return the mixture to the pan. Cook filling over medium heat until it's thick and bubbly, 3–5 minutes. Remove pan from heat; add the 2 Tbsp. butter and juice of 1/2 lemon, whisking until smooth. Pour custard into cooled crust; cover and chill until set, about 4 hours.
- Melt jelly with juice of 1/2 lemon in a saucepan over medium heat. Spread three-quarters of the glaze over the filling in the tart shell. Arrange berries over glaze. Dab berries with remaining glaze. Garnish tart with mint leaves. Serve tart within 1–2 hours.
