Lemon tart fail :(
Hi everyone! I attempted a lemon curd tart and I think I added too much butter to the pastry. It is super rich. And the curd itself didn't set in the fridge so its more of a custard-y consistency?? Is there anything I can do to fix it, or any other recipes I can incorporate this batch into so that it doesn't go to waste?? Any advice is appreciated
EDIT: Here's the recipe if it helps Curd recipe followed exactly: 2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks (or 3 whole eggs) ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon lemon zest ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice ½ cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (I used salted because thats all I have)
I cooked it on the stove for about 15 minutes until it thickened. The recipe said it takes 10 minutes to thicken. I thought it would set in the fridge like the recipe said but I guess not😭
Crust: 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup powdered sugar ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 large egg 4 to 6 tablespoons milk
I estimated the amount of butter, I probably added closer to 1 cup😭 and then added more flour to try and compensate for wetness of the dough
