Overall, I thought these tarts were pretty good. I'd definitely make them again, but I might make a few changes to the recipe.

I had some trouble getting the tarts out of the pan without breaking them. I think I'll try using a different pan next time.

The crust was a little too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

These tarts are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good.

These lemon butter tarts are a delightful treat! The filling is smooth and creamy, with a perfect balance of tart and sweet. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the overall flavor is simply divine.
