together butter & sugar till light & fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating after each addition, add lemon zest and beat again. Pour in orange
and lemon juices and beat again. Set aside. When tart has cooled a little,
patch any holes if necessary. Beat filling again till smooth and bake for

While tart is baking slice lemon into thin rounds. Bring 1/2 cup water &
1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Add lemon slices and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

arrange lemon slices on top,put icing sugar in small sieve and sprinkle
