Time 1h40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 lb cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup ice water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/8 cups sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 eggs

Steps:

  • For the Tart Shell:.
  • In Cuisinart, blend all ingredients while adding the butter in quarter-inch pieces.
  • Drizzle in chilled water until dough is thick or holds together when pushing together with fingers.
  • Move dough onto wax paper. Press into 1" thick disk and chill for at least one hour. Then press into 10" tart pan.
  • Line pastry with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes until light brown. While still warm, remove parchment paper.
  • Let tart shell rest at room temperature until ready to fill.
  • For the Filling:.
  • Cream butter until fluffy. Mix sugar with cornstarch. Add to butter and cream together.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add lemon juice (it will curdle; this is okay) and grated peel.
  • Pour into a semi-baked 10-inch tart shell and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes, or until the filling no longer jiggles.
  • Allow to cool, slice and top with berries if desired.
