7. Place a beautiful piece of laminated lemony puff pastry in the middle of the pan.
8. Around the main pastry, place six little rounds of pastry.

14. Turn off the boiling water and sit the lemon curd mixture on top of the pot.
15. Stir the lemon curd intermittently for 5-10 minutes until it thickens and becomes shiny.
16. Once the pastry is out of the oven, move it from the oven to the grill.
17. Take a little extra icing sugar and sprinkle it on top of the pastry.
18. Place the tart under the grill and watch it closely until the sugar changes color.
19. Let the tart cool down to either room temperature or in the fridge.
