MEMBER HOLIDAY COCKTAIL PARTY THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4 WINE CLUB: WINE & WISCONSIN CHEESE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11 GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 HOLIDAY BRUNCH SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14 bon appetit A Recipe from Pastry Chef Judy James LEMON TART LEMON TART CRUST -4 oz butter, cold and cubed -1/4 C sugar -1 1/2 C all-purpose flour -1/8 tsp salt -1 large egg yolk -2 Tbls heavy cream 1. Pulse flour, butter, sugar and salt in a food processor about 20 times until the butter pieces are no larger than small peas. 2. Stir egg yolk and cream together in a small bowl before adding to the flour mixture. Pulse about eight times until the ingredients are incorporated but the dough is still crumbly. 3. Remove dough from the food processor and gently knead until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes. 4. Roll out the dough until the crust is a 12" diameter circle. Transfer to a 10" fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill crust about 20 minutes before baking. 5. Line tart crust with parchment paper or plastic wrap and fill with pie weights. 6. Bake at 375 degrees until the crust is a light golden brown (I like to remove the pie weights for the last five minutes of baking). LEMON CURD FILLING -1 C fresh lemon juice -1 3/4 C sugar -Zest of 2 lemons -10 egg yolks -3 whole eggs -1/8 tsp salt -3 oz butter, cold and cubed -1/4 C heavy cream 1. Whisk together all ingredients except for heavy cream. Cook over a double boiler while stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken slightly. Do not boil. 2. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream. Strain the filling through a chinois or fine mesh strainer. 3. Fill the prepared tart crust with filling and bake at 350 degrees for six to eight minutes until the filling sets up (It will still jiggle like gelatin, but will set up firmly when chilled).
