Ingredients

Here’s what you need to gather to make these amazing Lemon Butter Tarts:

  • 1 pre-made tart shell
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Now, let’s get into the steps to create these delightful tarts:

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the tart shell: Place the pre-made tart shell on a baking sheet. This will make it easier to handle once it’s filled.
  3. Make the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  4. Add lemon: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and flour. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Fill the tart shell: Carefully pour the filling into the prepared tart shell, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet with the filled tart shell into the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Cool: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. This will help the filling firm up a bit more.
  8. Serve: When ready to serve, dust the tops with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and enjoy your delicious Lemon Butter Tarts!

These Lemon Butter Tarts are sure to impress your family and friends with their vibrant flavor and appealing appearance. Enjoy every bite of this sweet and tangy delight!
