Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine sugar, lemon juice, eggs, flour, and lemon zest for filling together in a large mixing bowl, and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
