These Lemon Butter Tarts are a delightful combination of tangy lemon filling and buttery pastry crust. They make for a perfect treat any time of day, whether served as a dessert or a sweet snack.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup cold water. 3 large eggs. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice. 1 tablespoon lemon zest. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. In a food processor, pulse together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Add diced butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, pulsing until dough comes together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut into rounds to fit tart molds. Press dough into molds. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour lemon mixture into tart shells, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake tarts in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Allow tarts to cool before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
