Steps
For the shortcrust pastry, put the flour in the mixer bowl, add the butter into small pieces and start the machine with the leaf. Let it work for a few minutes. Add the sugar, a pinch of salt, lemon zest and baking powder, and continue to work. Finally, pour in the egg, the yolks and knead everything quickly. Form a loaf, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least half an hour before using it. Shortcrust pastry can also be made with a food processor. While the pastry rests, prepare the ricotta cream. Mix the ricotta with a whisk. Combine the sugar, eggs, aromas and citrus juice with the ricotta and mix well. Roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 1/2 cm. Line an 8.66 “(22 cm) cake pan. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake at 350 ° F (180 ° C) in the preheated oven. Cook for 45 minutes. Leave to cool in the mold. Gently unmold and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Cook’s tips
