Saw some Amalfi lemons in the greengrocers this afternoon so after discussion with the owner bought one to try.
Had a look on-line for recipes and found a recipe for lemon tart. Said recipe involves a 9inch pastry case with a filling which, requires 6 Amalfi lemons, 4 whole eggs plus NINE egg yolks and half a pound each of butter and sugar.
And how many does this tart serve? It quite clearly states "Serves 2" !!!!
And immediately prior to serving you are instructed to sieve "ice flour" over the filling and grill until bubbling. I can only assume that this means icing sugar as rice flour wouldn't work and I can't find any reference to "ice flour" on google.
I think this is a lesson in taking internet recipes with a pinch of salt. It was on an apparently reliable cookery channel site too!
