For a more intense lemon flavor, increase the amount of lemon zest. Be careful not to add too much of the white pith, as it can make the tart bitter. If the crust starts to brown too quickly during baking, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil. The tart can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, or an 8-inch square baking dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepFor the crust: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted flour, mixing until just combined. (10 minutes)
03
StepPress the dough evenly into the prepared tart pan or baking dish. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust in several places to prevent it from puffing up during baking. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake the crust in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly while preparing the filling. Leave the oven on. (15 minutes)
05
StepFor the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. (5 minutes)
06
StepWhisk in the flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until smooth. (5 minutes)
07
StepPour the lemon filling into the pre-baked crust. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake until the filling is set, about 20-25 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid. (25 minutes)
09
StepRemove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. (30 minutes)
10
StepOnce cooled, dust the top of the tart with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled treat.
