"The rating is for the lemon curd only. I didn't make the tart. I used Meyer lemons as the recipe called for (not as tart as regular lemons) and I think it would have been better with regular lemons, as it was on the bland side. If I try this recipe again, I would cut down on the butter by one-third and use one stick instead of 1 1/2 sticks."

"I agree that it would be helpful to know the cup measurement of the onions, since there is so much variation in size. I used two large onions and mine caramelized on about medium high heat in about 30 minutes, using a cast iron dutch oven. The flavor was great. I'll make this again."

"This is a wonderful blend of soft and crunchy, sweet and sour. Even though it took an investment in time, I will be making this again."

"So good! I accidentally left the sour cream out of the glaze, but it wasn't missed. I couldn't find the chocolate wafers in my supermarket, so I used some Famous Amos chocolate sandwich cookies that were on sale, and scraped off the cream filling to substitute. They are worth the trouble, as they are delicious."

"This is everything shortbread should be--rich and crispy, yet tender. It was cool in my kitchen, so I didn't even chill the dough. I just rolled it on my cold granite countertop (with plastic wrap underneath the dough). Make sure you watch them in the oven and don't overcook. They might look underdone on top, but the bottoms should be golden."

"I made only the lemon curd, but it is the easiest recipe I've ever made and I've tried many. It has a nice balance of sweet and tart. I think blending in the melted butter helps to prevent the eggs from curdling."

"This recipe is easy and tasty. If I had a complaint, it might be that the balance of sweet/tart and buttery is a little too heavy on the buttery side, and I like buttery. My lemons were very tart, so I don't think that was it. Maybe it needed more lemon?""

"I followed directions exactly, but the batter overflowed my 9" pans. What a mess--and I just cleaned my oven yesterday! I let the cake continue to bake until it was done, but it took longer. Maybe my oven is not calibrated correctly? It did taste good, though.""
