Method

Pâte Sablé: In food processor, pulse flour, icing sugar and salt ; pulse in butter until in fine crumbs. Add yolks; pulse just until clumped together. Press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with removable bottom. Prick bottom and side all over with fork. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Line with foil; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in bottom third of 400°F (200°C) oven for 13 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until light golden, 7 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in heatproof bowl, whisk together sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, eggs, lemon rind and salt. Place over saucepan of simmering water; cook, whisking, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and instant-read digital thermometer registers 170°F (77°C), about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter until melted. Scrape into warm tart shell.

Bake in centre of 325°F (160°C) oven just until filling is set and no longer shiny, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
