Recipe's preparation

Dough

- Preheat oven to 180 degrees (Fan forced)
- Lightly butter a pie dish and set aside
- Add lemon zest and sugar to your TM bowl and grate for 15 seconds on speed 9
- Add the remaining dough ingredients to your TM bowl
- Mix for 7 seconds on speed 6
- Place TM on knead function for 40 seconds while simultaneously pouring 6 teaspoons of water through the mixing bowl lid
- Once kneading is complete, pour your dough into a pie dish and press the pastry to fit the pie dish with your hands (you can roll it out with a rolling pin but the pastry is very delicate and I find it easier to just press it with my fingers).
- Once pastry is pressed into pie dish place a sheet of baking paper down over the pastry and either add rice or a glass measuring cup to avoid the pastry rising whilst baking.
- Then bake for 20 minutes until golden brown (you may only need 15 minutes depending on your over strength)

Lemon Curd

- Add all curd ingridents to your TM (I don't rinse the TM bowl after making the dough because I don't think its necessary!)
- Once all ingridents are in the TM bowl, mix for 7 minutes at 85 degrees on speed 4.
- Now pour all of the Lemon curd into the reserved pastry tin (it's fine if it's still hot!)
- Leave to cool completely out of fridge, then place in fridge for at least 2 hours as it tastes best when its a little chilled!

Viola! The perfect lemon tart tmrc_emoticons.)

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
