Andy Cooks gives lemon tart a place among his favourite desserts, but this recipe hasn't quite earned its place as the one. After baking, dusting and plating a slice with a neat quenelle of cream, he takes a forkful: "It's pretty good. I think we can do better."

The new Short has drawn roughly 140,000 views in its first hours. It packs the process into a little over a minute: pastry chilled and rolled into a fluted tin, a lemon filling strained smooth, then a quick pass with a torch to remove surface bubbles before baking.

There's no music, a choice one viewer specifically thanks him for. Others have their eyes on the pastry cutter: one recognises the style from an inherited kitchen tool, while another asks how old Andy's is. Even in a search for the best tart, the equipment gets a moment.
