These delicate little lemon meringue tarts are perfect for any afternoon tea. The combination of buttery pastry with tangy lemon curd and finished with sweet toasted French meringue make this recipe utterly delicious. Use a blowtorch to toast the meringue or place under a hot grill for a few seconds. This quantity of dough makes 24 mini tarts, however, if you prefer to make 12 mini tarts, simply wrap any leftover dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for up to 1 month. For 12 mini tarts, just half the quantity of lemon curd and meringue required.
