Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Lemon Tart.
Step 1
To create a delightful tart crust, start by mixing room temperature butter, white sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to blend these ingredients until they are perfectly combined.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour into the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Step 4
Press this dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, then cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 5
While the crust is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Once the dough has set, bake it in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it achieves a light golden brown hue.
Step 7
As the crust bakes, prepare the luscious lemon filling by whisking together sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, flour, and lemon zest in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 8
Pour this vibrant filling into the baked crust, taking care to shield the edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Step 9
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is beautifully set.
Step 10
Once baked, allow the tart to cool completely before finishing it off with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar, adding a sweet touch to your masterpiece.
Step 11
Enjoy the burst of citrus flavor in every slice!.
