Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Tart Triangles.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a food processor, blend together 1 cup of flour, 6 tablespoons of butter, and 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar.
Step 3
Pulse the mixture for about 10 seconds until it takes on a crumbly texture.
Step 4
If you prefer a hands-on approach, a pastry blender works wonders to achieve a similar dough.
Step 5
Firmly press the dough into the base of a 9-inch round pie plate, ensuring an even layer.
Step 6
Slide the crust into the oven and let it bake for 12 to 15 minutes, watching for that perfect golden hue.
Step 7
While the crust bakes, whisk together eggs, 1 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons of flour in a bowl until the mixture is silky smooth.
Step 8
Once the crust is ready, pour the luscious lemon filling over it while it’s still hot.
Step 9
Return the pie plate to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 10
Allow your tart to cool completely in the pie dish for 1 to 2 hours, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 11
When it’s cool, give it a light dusting of 2 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and slice it into 12 delightful triangles.
Step 12
Enjoy each bite of this zesty treat, perfect for any occasion!.
