I've tried many lemon tart recipes, but this one is my favorite. The filling is smooth and creamy, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I highly recommend this recipe!

The lemon tarts were a bit too sour for my taste, but my family loved them. I think next time I'll use less lemon juice in the filling.
