Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 mini tarts

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup white sugar
  2. ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  3. 3 large eggs
  4. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  5. 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  8. ½ cup white sugar
  9. ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine sugar, lemon juice, eggs, flour, and lemon zest for filling together in a large mixing bowl, and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
  3. Combine flour, butter, sugar, and salt for crust in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times, until the dough begins to come together in a ball.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, placing dough portions in each well of a nonstick 6-well mini tart pan. Press dough over the bottom of each well and up the sides.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the crust is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack until mini tarts reach room temperature.

These were very easy to make and are delicious. The other reviewer is correct, it does make more than 6 tarts.

Be prepared for a new addiction, they are that good. Lemon curd is to die for with a short bread that melts in your mouth. That said If these are mini tarts you’ll get a lot more than 6, I get 10 large tarts with left over curd to boot.
