For the crust:
Grated zest of 2 oranges
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into a dozen pieces
3 extra large egg yolks
Pinch of salt
1-tablespoon ice water
For the filling:
2 extra large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup orange juice (from the 2 oranges)
Procedure:
1.
Preheat the oven to 350.
2.
Make the crust. Place the flour, sugar, butter, yolks salt
and zest in a food processor. Pulse until well mixed. Add water until dough
just forms.
3.
Place the dough on top of the removable bottom of an 11-inch
tart pan. Roll out to ¼” thickness. The edges of the dough should extend beyond
the edge of the pan’s bottom. Place the dough and bottom into the tart pan
frame. Press the dough up the sides and trim.
4.
Bake the crust. Cover dough with aluminum foil and pie
weights. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake 10 minutes
uncovered.
5.
Make the filling. Mix the eggs and sugar in a mixer until
pale yellow ribbons form (2-3 minutes). When the crust is baked, reduce the
mixer speed and add the orange juice. Add the filling to the crust.
6.
Bake the tart. Bake about 40 minutes. The filling should be
golden and should remain firm when the pan is shaken. Cool completely.
