Instructions
-
1.
For the dough, place flour with powdered sugar and butter pieces on a work surface and crumble with a knife. Add egg yolk and lemon zest. Quickly knead all ingredients into a smooth dough.
-
2.
Shape dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap; chill for about 1 hour in the refrigerator.
-
3.
Roll dough slightly larger than the pan on a floured surface. Place in the pan, lifting up the edges. Prick the bottom several times with a fork. (Support the edge from inside with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent it from slipping during baking.)
-
4.
Bake the crust on the lower rack in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile separate the eggs. Beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. Wash lemon hot, dry, grate zest and squeeze juice.
-
5.
Mix quark with lemon zest and juice, sugar, and pudding powder; gently fold in the meringue.
-
6.
Spread the mixture over the pre-baked crust and bake for about 1 hour. Let stand in the pan for another ~10 minutes before removing.
