Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch flan tin and set aside.
Measure the flour, cold butter, and sugar into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles fresh breadcrumbs. Add the egg and pulse to form cohesive dough. Roll pastry out onto a floured surface and line the flan tin. Line the inside of the pastry with a circle of tissue paper, crumpled. Fill with baking beans or rice grains and part bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Lift out paper and beans and permit to cool totally.
Spread lemon curd into part baked flan case once cooled totally. Whisk the egg whites in a machine mixer until full volume. Add the sugar and continue whisking until firm.
