Steps:
- For crust:
- Coat springform pan with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Place butter and powdered sugar in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Add dry ingredients to food processor and pulse until mixture resembles medium-size pebbles (dough will not come together completely). Transfer dough to prepared pan. Using your fingers, press dough evenly onto bottom and 1 1/2" up sides of pan. DO AHEAD: Crust can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- For filling and assembly:
- Using a mandoline, slice lemon into paper-thin rounds. Remove seeds. (If using a regular lemon, blanch slices in boiling water for 4 minutes, drain, and let cool before proceeding). Mix sugar, honey, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add lemon slices and toss to coat. Let sit until lemon is softened and sugar is dissolved, 30-45 minutes. DO AHEAD: Lemon slice mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 325°F. Bake crust until center is firm to the touch and edges are beginning to turn golden brown, 30-35 minutes.
- When crust is almost done baking, whisk eggs and egg yolks in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl; add to egg mixture and whisk to combine. Whisk in lemon juice. Add lemon slice mixture; mix gently to combine.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Pour filling into hot crust. Bake until filling is set and slightly puffed around edges, 25-30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely. Chill for at least 4 hours, then unmold. Serve cold. DO AHEAD: Tart can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.

LEMON HONEY BUTTER TARTS
My grandmother used to keep bees, and all of us tried to come up with new ways to use honey. This recipe is my contribution to the effort. I've been making them for about 20 years, with no complaints and lots of rave reviews.

Tips:
- To make sure your shortbread crust is perfectly crumbly, be sure to use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture quickly. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Don't overcook the lemon curd. It should be thick and spreadable, but not too firm. If you overcook it, it will become grainy.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue with a broiler. Just keep a close eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
- This tart is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This lemon honey tart is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy lemon curd pairs perfectly with the buttery shortbread crust, and the meringue adds a light and airy texture. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this tart at home and enjoy a taste of summer all year long.
