DIRECTIONS
CRUST
Combine gluten free flour, icing sugar, pecans, lemon zest and salt in a mixing bowl.
In a large bowl cream butter with an electric mixer, then add dry ingredients until just mixed. Wrap up in plastic wrap and cool in fridge for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
While crust is cooling. Start making your Lemon Curd.
Juice 3 lemons into prep bowl (3/4 cup) using the 2 in 1 Citrus Press
Whisk together sugar, zest, juice, eggs and yolk in a mixing bowl (make sure size can fit on top of pot to create a double boiler) until well blended.
Place on top of pot of simmering water. Stir constantly until mixture thickens and coats a wooden spoon. This should take about 8 or 9 minutes.
Then drop butter cubes in 1 at a time - stir to mix into a rich creamy lemon butter.
Remove from heat place in 4 cup prep bowl and let cool.
Now back to crust. With the chilled mixture, press crust into a well greased tart pan. Chill an additional 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F
Bake crust for about 25 minutes. Make sure no bubbles appear while baking - if they do prick with a folk to release steam. Remove from oven. Let cool down before adding lemon curd.
Chill for at least 4 hours. .
Just before serving - top with fresh fruit and dust with icing sugar.
