cream of tartarcream of tartar1 tsp
Step 26
In the meantime, place the sugar water mixture on medium heat and bring it to 240F. Use a food thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Step 27
Once the egg whites start to foam, start add ing the granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix until soft peaks.
Step 28
Once the sugar mixture reached 240F, take it off the heat and drizzle it into the whipped egg whites.
Step 29
Mix on low speed while you pour it in until it reaches stiff peaks. The meringue will cool down as it whips. It should be at room temperature when pipe the flowers.
Step 30
Transfer the meringue to a piping bag that’s fitted with a round tip. Pipe the flowers onto the tart.
Step 31
Microwave the reserved lemon filling for about 20 seconds and give it a quick stir. Add a small amount to the centre of each flower.
Step 32
I decorated with baby’s breath, thyme and rose leaves.
Step 33
Slice your tart and serve it with the rest of Meringue. Torch and enjoy.
