Ingredients
350g Asda Ready to Roll Shortcrust Pastry
Flour, for rolling out
4 large free-range eggs
150g caster sugar
2 large unwaxed lemons, finely grated zest of
125ml fresh lemon juice
150ml double cream
Icing sugar, to dust
Method
1Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 23cm flan tin. Prick the base and lay a piece of foil inside. Weigh it down with baking beans or dry rice and cook in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and beans or rice and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
2Reduce the temperature to 160C/180C Fan/Gas 3. Whisk the eggs and sugar gently with a balloon whisk until evenly mixed. Don't over-whisk the mixture or you'll create air bubbles.
3Stir in the zest and juice until evenly mixed. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
4Stir in the cream and pour into the pastry case. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until just set. Leave to cool.
5Serve cold and dust with icing sugar before serving.
