Instructions
Pastry
- Place the flour, icing sugar, butter and lemon zest in a food processor and whiz until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the yolk and tonic water and process until the mixture comes together in a smooth ball. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 23cm loose-bottomed tart pan.
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface until 5mm thick, then use to line tart pan. Chill for a further 15 minutes.
- Prick base with a fork, then line with baking paper and fill with baking weights or uncooked rice. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and weights and bake for a further 5 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Allow to cool.
Citrus Fruit
- Whisk the eggs, caster sugar, lemon zest and juice, cream and gin together until combined. Pour the filling into the cooled tart shell and bake for 20-25 minutes until just set.
- Meanwhile, for the syrup, place the sugar, tonic water and lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add gin and juniper berries and simmer for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Blanch lemon zest in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and add to the syrup. Simmer for a further 5 minutes. Cool completely.
- Remove the juniper berries from the gin and tonic syrup, then drizzle the syrup over the tart and serve.
