Critical Success Points

  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it out.
  • Blind bake with parchment and beads to prevent the crust from puffing.
  • Do not let the lemon custard boil; remove from heat as soon as it thickens.
  • Incorporate the butter off the heat to achieve a glossy texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Be careful of splashes from boiling lemon juice.
  • Do not leave the lemon custard unattended on the heat.
