    A beautiful dessert!
    I made this yesterday with the following adjustments as per the comments and my own preference:
    - omit lemon zest
    - 3 tablespoon of lemon juice instead of water.
    - soy milk instead of milk
    - 3 whole eggs and omit the egg white
    - 200g cane sugar milled.
    - more lemon juice for the filling for the extra tartness.

    Also made the 10 minute meringue frosting to balance the tartness. Omgosh to die for!
    My guests devoured it plus they were so amazed with the blowtorch. So pleased as it was my first time too. Great way to use the lemons.

    Nice, although not a fan of the lemon zest in the crust. Other than that quite nice. Needs to be served with something to break up the tang, like whipped cream, or meringue swirl on top 😀

    So easy and very yummy!!

    Things to try for next time: use lemon juice instead of water for the pastry. Cream instead of milk for the filling. Add more lemon juice in the filling. Smile

    Betstrath: ok, now I’m confused. You mention I’m cooking it for too long, but I don’t cook it with the filling?????

    Delicious

    I made this for the first time to take to a friends for a BBQ. Got great reviews. Very easy to make. I usually don't bother making pastry but this was so simple. I even made another base - the same as this and filled with caramel for those that don't like lemon. Next time I think I will add a little more lemon - I like a real tart lemon flavour
