How to Make Lemon Raisin Meringue Tartlets
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup powdered milk into the sugar mixture. Add the zest and juice of 2 lemons.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks.
- Gradually whisk 1/2 cup of the hot lemon mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining lemon mixture.
- Return to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the curd thickens significantly (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup raisins.
- Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin with 3 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each layer with melted unsalted butter.
- Fill each phyllo cup with about 1/3 cup of the lemon raisin mixture.
- Fold the edges of the phyllo dough over the filling to create a tartlet shape.
- Brush the tops of the tartlets with melted butter.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown.
- While the tartlets are baking, beat 4 large egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spoon the meringue onto each baked tartlet.
- Return the tartlets to the oven for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
