Elderflower has a delicate, floral flavor that works really well in this simple lemon tart. You need to be very careful when handling the pastry base, because any cracks will mean the filling will leak out in the oven. If you notice any gaps appearing after blind baking the tart, use leftover pastry dough to patch up the base.
