Steps:
- Make lemon curd:
- Cut butter into pieces and in a heavy saucepan cook with zest, lemon juice, and sugar over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and mixture just comes to a simmer. In a bowl whisk together eggs and whisk in lemon mixture until combined well. Transfer lemon curd to pan and heat over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until it just begins to simmer. Pour lemon curd through a fine sieve into a bowl and cool slightly. Chill lemon curd, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours, or until cold, and up to 3 days.
- Fill tartlet shells in baking cups with lemon curd. Chill tartlets, covered, 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Make meringue:
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with a pinch salt until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat whites until they hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating until meringue holds stiff peaks.
- Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain tip and pipe meringue 2 inches high onto each tartlet, completely covering lemon curd.
- Bake tartlets in middle of oven 3 minutes, or until meringue tips are just browned, and cool in cups on racks. Chill tartlets in airtight containers at least 2 hours, or until cold, and up to 1 day. Keep tartlets chilled until ready to serve.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lemon meringue bites just didn't turn out right. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]These lemon meringue bites were a disaster! The meringue was runny and the lemon curd was too sour.

[email protected]My lemon meringue bites turned out a bit too brown. I think I should have taken them out of the oven a few minutes earlier.

[email protected]I had a bit of trouble getting the meringue to stiffen. I ended up having to beat it for a lot longer than the recipe said.

[email protected]These lemon meringue bites are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the meringue.

[email protected]I've tried a lot of lemon meringue recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and buttery, the lemon curd is perfectly tart, and the meringue is light and fluffy. I highly recommend this recipe!

[email protected]These lemon meringue bites are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The meringue is light and airy, and the lemon curd is smooth and creamy. I love the way the two flavors complement each other.
