Tips for Making Perfect Lemon Butter Tarts

* **Use fresh lemons:** Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest will give your tarts the best flavor. * **Don't overmix the dough:** Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. * **Chill the dough before baking:** Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape. * **Blind-bake the tart shells:** Blind-baking the tart shells will help prevent them from becoming soggy. * **Use a high-quality butter:** The butter you use for the filling should be of good quality. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the tarts. * **Don't overcook the filling:** The filling should be cooked until it is just set. Overcooking will make it tough. * **Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature:** Lemon butter tarts are best served warm or at room temperature. ###
