Rustic 4M Tart

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375. Blend the flours, salt and sugar in a bowl. Work in the cold butter cubes. Add 1 tbl. of ice water and work that in. Add another. If the mix has not come together add just a bit more water gingerly. Form a ball and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes or more.

2. 2

   In between two sheets of parchment ( 14 inch square or so), roll out the dough very thinly, less than 1/8 inch. Transfer the dough to a small pie plate. Trim the edges. Bake for 10 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Then let cool.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 350. Beat the egg yolks. Add the sugar and maple syrup, Whisk together. Stir in the flour. Fold in the marscapone. Then add the zest and juice. Mix until smooth.

4. 4

   Pour the custard into the semi-baked pie shell. Add the pie to a larger baking pan. Fill that larger pan with cool water so it comes up midway to the pie plate. Bake for about 35-40 minutes until the custard has set. Let cool.

5. 5

   To serve, cut into slices. Add a drizzle of maple syrup cut with Meyer lemon juice, if desired. Garnish with dollops of Meyer lemon-flavored marscapone or whipped cream and Meyer lemon peel.
