Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

TART SHELLS:
1/2 stick cold butter
1 1/3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
4 to 5 Tbsp ice water
LEMON CURD FILLING:
6 egg yolks
1 c granulated sugar
6 Tbsp butter, cut into pieces
1/2 c fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon peel, grated
FOR SERVING:
whipped topping

Steps:

  • 1. For tart shells: In a stand mixer, or working with a pastry cutter or two forks, mix butter, flour and salt until dough becomes crumbly. Add water 2 Tbsp. at a time until consistency is smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Roll out dough on cutting board and cut 3-inch circles using a scalloped cookie cutter. Place into greased cupcake pan, pressing sides of dough to fit.
  • 3. Combine all filling ingredients in a heavy non-aluminum saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture thickens slightly. DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and cool. Pour filling into dough cups and bake 15 to 18 minutes in a preheated 400-degree oven.
  • 4. Let cool, then top with whipped topping. Refrigerate any leftovers. WHAT LEFTOVERS?

I'm not a baker, but these tarts were easy to make and turned out delicious. I'll definitely be making them again.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the tarts didn't turn out as I expected. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny.

These tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these tarts were surprisingly good. The crust was flaky and the filling was tart and sweet.

These tarts were perfect! I made them for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes. I'll definitely be making them again.

The crust was a bit crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try a different crust recipe next time.

These tarts were a bit too sour for my taste, but my friends loved them. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the tarts turned out beautifully. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and they still came out great.

These lemon tarts were a hit at my spring party! The bright citrus filling and the buttery crust were a perfect combination. I'll definitely be making these again.
