Jean! Lemon Tart Error? SPOILER! - Gourmet_Mom - 11-01-2009

Jean, is there an error in the salt amount here? I questioned it when I saw it, but I went with it...what do I know. Then I had a REALLY hard time with the crust. Now that I have tasted it, I think I know why. Check the salt amount...

Daphne,

YIKES! It should have been 1/4 tsp - Not 1/4 cup. Hope you can enjoy the filling.

Yea, Jean needs to change that in the menu thread. I figured that was it. When I saw it, I wondered, but like I said, what do I know. I've only made pastry dough once. I was doing three things at one time and running out of time, so went with it. You can not imagine the trouble I had rolling that stuff out...NO WONDER...LOL! You can imagine our faces when we took that first bite...ROFLOL! It's a shame I can't scoop it out and put it into another crust.

Oh for crying out loud!!! I'm so sorry - and I do proofread. I'll go fix it right now. I really apologize, Daphne, for ruining your dessert!!

Don't worry about it! I should have double checked it. I KNEW it looked wrong.
