Lemon Tart - an easy to make, yet impressive dessert.

Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 170C/Fan 150C/325F/Gas Mark 3. Place the pastry case on a baking sheet. Beat the eggs, sugar, crème fraiche, lemon zest and juice together until smooth.
    2. Pour the mixture into the pastry case. Bake for 25-30mins or until the filling is just set, but still a little wobbly in the centre. Cool. Chill for at least 2 hours.
    3. Dust with icing sugar and serve in wedges with clotted cream if liked.
