Lemon tart à l’Américaine

Knead the dough ingredients into a shortcrust pastry and line a tart tin with it (not too thin). Prick the edges (you can add peas for blind baking if desired) and bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. The edges should be lightly browned. Squeeze the lemons and zest two of them. Place the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk over a pan of simmering water for about 10 minutes until frothy, or until the water is simmering and the mixture is creamy. Stir in the butter and lemon zest. Fill the finished base with the lemon curd. Let cool. If desired, decorate the cake with whipped cream.
