- Slow and gentle spring living in English countryside.
I've been spending a lot of time with family last week, hence no video! Sorry! I wanted to share some of my slow living experience with you and thoughts on mindfulness and love languages in this video. I hope it brings you some peace and joy today.
Mini Lemon Tarts (can be made into one big tart or a flat square lemon sheet cake instead if you don't have a proper baking sheet)
Pie crust -
-125g plain flour
-75g ground almonds
-50g sugar
-100g cold butter
-1 egg yolk
-3-4 tbsp ice water
-pinch of salt
Mix together plain flour, almond flour, salt and sugar. Add cold cubed butter and rub between your hands to make corse crumb.
Add 1 egg yolk, mix.
Add 3-4 tbsp of ice water to soften your dough and make in easier to work with. Add water 1 tbsp at a time and mix each time - the dough should come together firm but not sticky! If needed, add less liquid.
(BTW if you're gluten free, you can use gluten free flour for these tarts - I made both versions and they turned out equally good.)
Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1h or overnight.
Shape into little mini tarts onto a greased pan (I used a muffin pan and liners, but you can shape it however you want), line with baking paper or additional muffin liners on top and put some baking beads (or rice/ beans) and bake for 10 mins at 180C/ 355F. Then remove the weights and top liners and bake for additional 5 mins until golden in colour.
Wait until the baked crust has completely cooled down before filling with curd.
Lemon curd filling:
-Zest of 2 lemons
-Juice of 3 lemons
-5 egg yolks
-200g sugar
-75g butter
Add egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and mix well. Then zest 2 lemons and squeeze the juice of 3 lemons (I had help there hehe :) ). It's best to use a sieve when squeezing your lemons to catch all the unwanted seeds.
Add juice and zest into a bowl with sugar and eggs.
Place a bowl over a pan with hot boiling water using a Bain Marie method. Keep stirring your curd until it thickens. It may take from 5 to 45 minutes - when I made this for the first time, it took about 45 minutes as I used a very heatproof bowl. Second time I made this in a ceramic bowl and it took me about 5-10 mins. The curd is ready when it thickens and coats the spatula with a glossy liquid.
Remove from the Bain Marie, strain through the sieve into a separate bowl and add butter. Mix well until butter melts, then cover with cling film pushing it down right on top of your curd.
Wait until it cools down completely.
I also whipped some double cream with sugar to add as an extra layer into these tarts - this helps to achieve a milder flavour.
Add lemon curd on top and decorate with berries!
Enjoy! :)

I used to like everything perfect, but I've come to appreciate things that aren't. Things don't always have to be perfect to be beautiful. "Perfect" usually comes from a machine, where each one turns out just alike. Those that don't are labeled "irregular". I prefer things to be a little irregular. That is, made by hand, where no two are exactly alike. I half expected your tarts to be very misshapen, but they look lovely and delicious to me!
Oh, those big pink flowers and the blue sky...so, so beautiful
Such a magical place, isn’t it! Those are magnolia flowers, some of my favourite in spring 🌸
Hi friends! How was your week? 💕 Do you know what your love language is? I think I give love with quality time, but receive with words of affirmation and quality time equally. What is yours? (The 5 love languages are - giving gifts, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service and quality time).
P.S. I shared my lemon tart recipe in the description - please check it out if you're interested!
Your video's helps a lot to overcome the situation......... thenks you for your hard work 💗💗💗
I’m glad it does! 🌷 Thank you so much for your kind words!
It's absolutely understandable that life sometimes can be hectic, but as you said, it's up to us to live as mindfully as we can every moment.
Thank you for making these wonderful videos! Love your work! 😊
Thank you so much! 🥰

Those little tarts looked adorable. I’d far rather eat something that looked homemade than a shop bought item.

Your voice is nice ❤
Its feel like fairy tells story
Beautiful!😍 Apple trees in bloom, magnolia blossoms, wildflowers, lemon tarts... I find that, often, the most wonderful things are just perfectly imperfect! 😉 💮🌸🍋Thank you, Daria! 👏 👏 👏 😘
Hi lass.
Hi Peter! 😊
Daria, I just started reading a delightful book called 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrow' and I think as a fellow melancholic soul belive you'd enjoy it. This part in the introduction spoke to me in particular 'This is not a book about sadness---at least not in the modern sense. The word sadness originally meant "fullness", from the same Latin root, satis, that also gave us sated and satisfaction. Not so long ago, to be sad meant you were filled to the brim with some intensity of experience.' 🍀
Wow thank you so much for this recommendation! It sounds amazing and I just ordered it online! 🥰
This is an amazing book- I had to buy my own copy after borrowing it from the library and loving it.
This a very beautiful video!
The tarts look picture perfect to me. I'm glad you shared.❤
Oh those lemon tarts look absolutely amazing and also very pretty and charming, I think they look delicious!

May is such a lovely month, but it also means exams for me, so thank you for these calming videos ❤ also I think the tarts do look nice, but you're right that it doesn't matter how they look so much as sharing the enjoyment of making them.

Is that a hawthorn in flower? Maybe it's a sloe/ blackthorn... Incidentally and as an albeit probably, somewhat irrelevant side note - there is only one hawthorn in my vicinity at the southernmost tip of Africa, which was probably planted ages ago when the suburb was still vineyard-propagated. The berries can remove {cardiac} artery plaque if made into a tincture over time, yet the inner pip is toxic...similar to the yew berry supposedly. Apples are (also) ever slightly so, yet one would have to eat a lot to get a serious stomach ache) - A fellow nature appreciater 🌼
That’s a buckthorn 😊 They’re amongst the first flowers to bloom here, and hawthorn has already started as well! A lot of plants have so many medicinal properties if one knows what to do with them!
❤
I love all your videos and all your cakes and desserts! So so so beautiful and heart-touching 🌻🥀🌹🏵
Thank you so much for slowing my racing mind. I pray that god helps me graduate so I can move to the countryside.
