Dubious content edit

This entire article as it stands contains dubious content.

There are probably numerous different types of lemon tart, but generally in Western Europe a lemon tart consists of a pastry base (usually made in a circular, often fluted, tart tin - but never spherical, half-spherical or teacup shaped as the article currently states) containing a baked lemon custard (a standard recipe contains lemon juice, eggs, sugar, cream).109.158.149.65 (talk) 15:46, 17 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I have removed the following "dubious content" from the article as it is in disagreement with all the sources listed.

"These mini-pastries are made in three ways. One way is to have a half-spherical pastry, and lemon filling, while the second way is to have a spherical pastry with lemon filling inside, and the third way, is to have a half spherical pastry, with cream and lemon inside. Lemon tarts may vary, such as they may be sweet or sour.[dubious – discuss] They are classified as mini-pastries because regular pastries have either a sweet or salty shell, and because regular pastries are usually bigger[dubious – discuss]. Lemon Tarts are usually in the shape of handle-less teacups.[dubious – discuss]The lemon filling does not have to be baked[dubious – discuss], but the shell does.[1] The more intensely the shell is baked, the more crisp it will become"

I have also changed this sentence "They have a normal, crimped, versatile pastry shell, while the filling is a basic variation of lemon paste.[citation needed]" to "They have a pastry shell with a lemon flavoured filling", as this fits better with the sources listed. 217.44.127.134 (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
