A Twist on Lemon Tart – Tarte à l’Orange
The classic Tarte au Citron works beautifully with oranges instead of lemons to give a lush and softer edge to this light desert.

I made the sweet pastry myself, but a good quality “pure butter” supermarket version will do the trick and is less prone to failure.
