Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine butter, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer; mix ingredients thoroughly with a paddle attachment. Mix flour into butter mixture to make a smooth dough. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan; refrigerate crust for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake crust until light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whisk sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl until smooth. Pour lemon filling into crust. Cover edges of crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Bake tart until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool completely and dust with confectioners' sugar.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the filling had been a little more tart. Other than that, the tart was well-made and the crust was flaky and buttery.

I followed the recipe exactly and my tart turned out beautifully. It was a hit at my dinner party and everyone raved about it. The only thing I would change next time is to use a bit less sugar in the filling.
