  • vanilla extract
  • eggs
  • zest of one lemon
  • fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • powdered sugar for garnish

How to Make A Lemon Tart

This recipe has two parts. First you will make the shortbread crust. The second step is to make the lemon filling.

  1. Mix together butter, 1/2 C sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat with a paddle attachment.
  2. Add in flour, mix until smooth dough forms.
  3. Press dough into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  4. Refrigerate crust for 30 minutes.
  5. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Mix together sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 C flour in a bowl. Beat until smooth.
  7. Pour lemon filling into baked crust.
  8. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until filling is set. If edges of tart begin to brown, cover the edges with foil.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar
