"The combination of the sweet pastry crust and slightly sour pomelo filling is like a poem. The light texture and flavor of torched meringue is just the cherry on top."

  • Step 2/7

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and cut out circles to fit the tart pans. Fit the circles into the greased tart pans, pressing the dough against the sides and cutting away any excess dough. Prick the bottom of each tartlet all over with a fork. Lay out a baking paper circle in each tartlet, pour in pie weights, and blind bake the tartlets for approx. 10 min. Remove the pie weights and bake for another 5 min., or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
