I found a few lemons lying around in the fridge, so decided to google ‘lemon’ for ideas on how to get rid of them. After searching the net for recipes I finally decided on baking a lemon tart. Reason, I also had some ready made pastry and lots of eggs.
Turns out things didn’t go as smoothly as expected. To start, the pastry was mouldy (it wasn’t even expired). So I had to make one from scratch. Because I didn’t want it too buttery I substituted some with milk whom I directed Kevin to pour while I mix. Well he poured too much and it turned into a cake consistency, so instead of a pastry base I had to compromise with a dry cake base.
When it was time to pour the lemon mixture, I realised I forgot to seal the tin and it started leaking in the oven!! Had to pour the watery lemon mixture out again, seal the tin, clean the oven and surrounding area and then bake.
Turns out
not the prettiest, but was not a disaster.Tasted good too!

i just took a Gâteau au Citron (or, French-Style Yogurt Cake with Lemon) out from the oven. a cake i almost always go to when i have extra lemons. =) i increase the yogurt by a tad and decrease the sugar. =)
