Method for the Meyer Lemon & Elderflower Sabayon:

  1. For Sabayon: Preheat oven to 350 F. Whisk together concentrate, syrup, sugar, and eggs in the bowl of a double boiler until thick and foamy. Sabayon should be hot and coat the back of a spoon.
  2. Pull off the heat and whisk in butter until fully incorporated. Pour immediately into the tart shell.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes to form a skin. Let cool before garnishing with fresh fruit and edible flowers.

Ingredients for the Pate Sucrée:

  • 53 g powdered sugar
  • 40 g egg yolk
  • 8 g whole egg
  • 140 g all-purpose flour

Method for the Pate Sucrée:

  1. For Pate Sucrée: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Lightly whisk together yolk & eggs. Add to the mixer in 2 portions, scraping down the bowl in between additions.
  3. When the egg is completely incorporated, add flour (all at once) and mix until it just comes together.
  4. Form it into a small disc and wrap it with plastic wrap. Set in the fridge for at least 1 hour before rolling out.
  5. Roll cold dough into a round ⅛ – ¼” thick and line tart ring. Dock with a fork and set in the freezer for 15 minutes.
