Tis the Meyer lemons season.
Cannot resist Meyer lemons when I see them at the supermarket. Whether how I would use it, it doesn't matter to me. I'll just buy them then decide.I made a meyer lemon pound cake and it was so moist and fragrant. With the extra lemons on hand, I decided to make into lemon curd so as to slowly savour it. Nudged by a friend to make tarts, and so, Lemon tarts were made. I can actually eat the lemon curd on its own. Meyer lemons has a very special taste. The curd was tarty and sourish. People I gave to, finds it nice and very refreshing. It is my favourite. And I think I can just simply use it as a bread spread. The curd is so versatile!

5. On a floured surface, roll dough out into a 0.3mm thick sheet. Use a small round cutter to press out circles.
6. Place dough into prepared tartlet tins, ensuring that dough is well pressed into sides and bottom of tins. Prick bottom of each tart with a fork. (As mine was soft, I placed it into the fridge first before baking).
7. Blind bake at 180C for 14-15mins until browned at the sides.
8. Remove from the oven. The shells will harden when cooled.
