One Hour Lemon Tart With Pecan Crust

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup ground pecans
• 8 tablespoons butter, cold and diced (1 stick)
• 1/2 cup golden syrup (you probably won't use it all)
• 1 large lemon, chopped and de-seeded (meyer or other thin-skinned lemons are the best, you want as little pith as possible!!)
• 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
• 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs

Recipe

• 1 pre-heat oven to 350.
• 2 crust: combine flour, ground pecans and butter in food processor and pulse to combine well. drizzle in enough golden syrup while processor is running to form a dough ball. press into pie pan or tart shell. prick with a fork and blind bake with weights (such as dried beans or rice) for 10 minutes. i've also made this tart without blind baking and it came out just fine!
• 3 filling: add all ingredients into blender and blend on 'high' until well combined. pour into tart shell and bake for 35-40 minutes until lightly browned on top.
