Tips

This makes for generous Lemon Curd. I have extra left over, but it's so yum on its own it doesn't matter.!

A electric beater with only one beater in works well for whisking the lemon curd.

Preheat oven to 220C.
In a food processor blitz butter and flour till it looks like breadcrumbs. Add sugar and mix. Add egg yolk and water and knead to a dough. Using a circle cutter a little bigger than the top of a muffin tin cut out the pastry shapes. Put them in the bottom of muffin tins and press into shape. Chill for 30 minutes. Bake blind for 10 minutes, remove baking blind fill and bake for a further one minute. Allow to cool.
