Dough
Mix the icing sugar and almond powder with the soft butter, add the egg yolk then incorporate the flour.

lemon cream
Squeeze the juice from the lemons and set aside. In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Blanch the eggs with the sugar then pour in the hot cream. Recook for a few minutes on the fire. Add the lemon juice, stirring constantly, to prevent the cream from separating.
Assembly

Meringue
Beating egg whites. Bring the sugar and water to the boil, up to a temperature of 120°C, then pour this cooked syrup over the egg whites and let the mixer run for 3 minutes.
