Preparation of the Apricot Cake

Let's start by preparing the shortcrust pastry: Mix all the ingredients together until smooth and even. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line a baking sheet. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes until golden brown.

Let's prepare the custard: in a saucepan, heat the milk with the lemon zest. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar, then add the flour and stir again. Once the milk is hot, remove the lemon zest and slowly pour in the egg yolk and sugar mixture, stirring vigorously to avoid lumps. Place the saucepan over the heat and continue stirring for about 10 minutes, until the custard thickens. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Slice the apricots thinly. Once the tart is ready and cooled, pour the custard into the tart and decorate with the apricot slices. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
