The dough turned out quite hard after baking. Although it smelled heavenly of lemon before baking, the shells had almost no lemon aroma nor flavour after baking. Also, the edges got very dark during the blind baking, even though they had been chilled. Perhaps my dough was just too warm all around. The custard was more interesting, but for some reason we cycled between loving it (as in "I wonder if I can bake this in a custard cup brulee style?") to not really liking it. The bites with a blueberry made us want more, the bites of plain custard were just so so. The lemon zest in the custard imparted an almost medicinal flavour, not what I expected since I truly like the combo of lemon and blueberry. All in all, they sounded and looked much better than they tasted. I might try again, maybe using the orange peel option to see if that makes a difference. Sorry. If I try again and get better results I will surely adjust this rating.
