Preparation of the gluten-free lemon tart recipe
Preparing the crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, mix the rice flour, powdered sugar and a pinch of salt.
Add the butter cut into small pieces and work the dough with your fingertips until you obtain a sandy texture.
Spread the dough in a previously greased tart pan, making sure to cover the bottom and edges well.
Prick the dough with a fork and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden. Let cool.
Preparation of the lemon filling:
In a saucepan, mix the lemon zest and juice with the powdered sugar.
Heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a bowl, beat the eggs then pour them into the pan while stirring constantly.
Add the butter cut into small pieces and continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Preparation of the meringue:
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff using an electric mixer.
Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat until the meringue is glossy and forms firm peaks.
Assembly :
Pour the lemon filling onto the pre-baked crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Using a piping bag or a spatula, spread the meringue on top of the tart, forming peaks.
Bake the tart for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Let the tart cool before cutting it into pieces.
Enjoy your gluten-free lemon tart and enjoy!
