Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cold unsalted butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
6 large egg yolks
1 cup white sugar
½ cup fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 ½ tablespoons grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Mix flour, butter, and salt together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, or with a pastry blender, until dough becomes crumbly. Add ice water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the consistency is smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup cupcake pan.
  • Roll out dough on a cutting board and cut into 3-inch circles using a scalloped cookie cutter. Place dough into the prepared pan, pressing down the sides to fit.
  • Combine egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest in a heavy, non-aluminum saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and filling thickens slightly. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl and cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour filling into the dough cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

These tarts are the perfect size for a party. They're small enough that you can eat them in one bite, but they're still big enough to be satisfying.

These tarts were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I think next time I'll use a little less lemon juice in the filling.

I was a little skeptical about making these tarts because I'm not a very experienced baker. But they turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow and the tarts were delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These mini lemon tarts were a hit at my last dinner party! The filling was perfectly tart and sweet, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making these again.
