If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip pastry dough (that will be a soft almost butter consitancy) onto grad wrap. replace lid and mix at speed 10 for 5 seconds to loosen remaining dough. Once all the pastry dough is on the glad wrap, shape into a disc, wrap and place in fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Clean and dry the thermomix bowl
Add 165 grams Raw Sugar to 150 grams of Butter cut into small cubes or shaved. Mix at speed 5 for 15 seconds.
Add 160 grams of Lemon Juice, the zest of 1 Lemon and 4 Large room Temperature Eggs to the bowl. Cook 12 minutes, 60 degrees, Speed 3.
While the Curd is cooking prepare your tart shells for cooking.
Using lots of plain flour for dusting roll the pastry to 2-4mm thick and cut into 24 - 9cm Rounds (i used a milksake glass) place the rounds into a greased muffin tin and chill in the FREEZER for 5-10 mintues. Place into a 180 degree oven and cook until golden brown - approx 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes then put the tart shells onto a wire rack.
Fill the pastry shells with Lemon curd and place in the fridge to set for 30 mins. If you are making Lemon Curd tarts then serve chilled with cream. if you would like to make them into lemon meringue pies see next step.
Ensure your bowl and butterfly are extremly clean. You can follow the Vinigar clean first if necessary.
Insert Butterfly
Place 4 large room temperature egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar into bowl and mix for 4 minutes, at 50 degrees, Speed 3.5 until stiff peaks form
Continue to mix for a further 4 minutes, 50 degrees, Speed 3.5 whilst slowly adding the reserved Sugar Mixture (90 grams of Raw Sugar and 60 grams of Brown Sugar) through the hole in the bowl lid.
Using a piping bag or spoon add the meringue mixture onto the top of the lemon curd. Use a blow torch to scorch the meringue. Enjoy! x
