In a bowl, pour flour, pinch of salt, yeast and mix. In another bowl, place the kneaded butter and work it with the powdered sugar. Add the egg. Add half the flour/yeast mixture. Mix well. Add the zest of a lemon, washed beforehand. Mix well. Add remaining flour mixture. Mix again.

Pour into a mold or onto a sheet of baking paper. Smooth out evenly with an angled spatula. Bake. The tip of the knife should come out dry. Leave to cool, then cut out with a cookie cutter.

In a bowl of cold water, place the gelatin leaf. In a saucepan, heat the lemon juice with the caster sugar and egg until the cream thickens. Remove from heat and add the gelatine, previously softened in a bowl of cold water and squeezed dry, and the butter. Use a mixer to blend well. Set aside to cool. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer and gently fold in around 90g of lemon curd. Store the remaining lemon curd in a piping bag in a cool place.
