LEMON CURD FILLING

Next fill a piping bag with lemon curd and fill each pastry case with a spoonful of the lemon curd.

You can use ready made shop-bought shortcrust pastry for this recipe. Choose ready rolled pastry sheets to make it even quicker. 2-3 sheets should be enough. I use my homemade Thermomix lemon curd for this recipe, which I highly recommend. However you can use any lemon curd.
