Lemon Tart Ingredients
Method
Lemon Tart Directions
Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until crumbly. Press the mixture into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pre-bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Bake the Tart
Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked tart crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Cool and Serve
Allow the tart to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
