Ingredients

Crust

Lemon Curd Filling

•  2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks (or 3
  whole eggs)
•  3/4 cup (150 g/5.3 oz) granulated sugar
•  1 tablespoon lemon zest
•  1/2 cup (120 ml) freshly squeezed lemon
  juice (2-3 lemons for both zest and juice)
•  2 tablespoons heavy cream , optional
•  1/2 cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, cut
  into small pieces

Instructions

1. To make the lemon curd: In a medium heatproof bowl,
   place eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and heavy cream and whisk to
   combine. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie). Cook
   on moderate heat, whisking constantly, until mixture becomes thick (mine was
   ready in 10 minutes, but it can take up to 20). If you have a thermometer, it
   should register 170°F/75°C; otherwise, it should coat the back of a wooden
   spoon and leave a clear pass if you run your finger through it. The curd will thicken
   more once cooled.
2. Remove from heat and immediately strain mixture through a
   sieve. Add butter, a few cubes at a time, and whisk until completely melted and
   incorporated, and mixture is smooth. Take your time with it—the whisking makes
   for an airy and light texture. Allow to cool to room temperature before filling
   the tart. (Lemon curd can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up
   to a week, or can be frozen for up to 2 months. To thaw, place overnight in the
   fridge. Whisk the mixture to smoothen it before using.)
3. Fill the tart shell with lemon curd, then refrigerate for at
   least 4 hours until chilled. Serve with berries and whipped cream if you like.
   The tart is rich, so cut your servings small.

Ingredients

For the crumb topping:

• 1/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into tiny cubes
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 and 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For the donuts:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg, at room temperature

For the vanilla glaze:

• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray a 6 mold donut pan
   with non-stick baking spray; set aside.

For the crumb topping:

1. In a small bowl combine the sugar, the flour, and cinnamon.
   Add in the butter cubes and quickly work them into the mixture until it
   resembles a coarse meal; chill the topping in the freezer while making the
   donut batter.

For the donuts:

1. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a
   separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. Gently fold the wet mixture
   into the dry mixture – don’t over mix!
2. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan.
   Divide crumb topping evenly among donut tops, then bake for 10-11 minutes, or
   until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool
   for 10 minutes in the pan before gently lifting them out and transferring to a
   wire rack to cool for a few more minutes.

For the glaze:

1. In a small bowl whisk together the confectioners’ sugar,
   milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over donuts and serve at once.

6. Place on prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between
   cookies. Using a small buttered measuring cup (I use a 1/8 cup measuring cup),
   gently press in the center of the cookie to create an indent in the center.6
7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies will not look cooked
   all the way, they will stay very light in color, but they are done.7
8. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5
   minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.8
9. Caramel Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave caramels
   and milk for 30 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals
   until completely melted. Add in salt, stir well.9
