Ingredients Needed:

Crust:

• ½ cup butter softened
• ¼ cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour

Filling:

• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (Optional)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

How To Make Lemon Tart Recipe?

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Stir in the sifted all-purpose flour until fully combined. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, and pierce with a fork in several places to prevent puffing up during baking.
3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 to 30 minutes. Keep the oven on.
4. Make the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the white sugar and eggs. Add the flour, lemon juice, lemon peel (optional), and salt, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
5. Bake the Filling: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the filling is set. Let it cool completely.
6. Serve: Dust with confectioners’ sugar and cut into 16 squares. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the tart a more vibrant flavor than bottled juice.
• Chill the tart before serving: Refrigerating the tart for a few hours helps the filling set perfectly and enhances the flavor.
• Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the tart while baking. Overbaking can cause the filling to become rubbery.
• Let the crust cool completely: Allow the crust to cool before adding the filling so it doesn’t melt the filling.
• Dust with powdered sugar: For a beautiful finish, lightly dust the cooled tart with powdered sugar right before serving.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Lemon Tart cool down before putting it in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, wrap the tart tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It will freeze for up to 1 month.
