Luscious Lemon Tart
My son loves lemon doughnuts, but I usually don’t fry anything so I couldn’t make those for him…is there a good baked lemon doughnut recipe? Anyways, I wanted to make him something special since his schedule is very hectic right now with soccer and football! While looking through my recipes I decided on a lemon tart, however a lot of them called for lots of sugar or lots of lemon juice! I didn’t want it to be sickening sweet or too tart so I decided to make my own. This recipe is slightly sweet with a subtle lemon taste to it…exactly what I wanted!
Ingredients are as follows:
Crust:
3/4 C butter, softened
1 1/2 C flour
3/4 C powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Filling:
4 eggs
1 1/4 C sugar
1/4 C flour
1/3 C of lemon juice
Topping:
1/4 C powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 9 inch Springform Pan
.
.Cream together the butter, flour, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Press dough evenly into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour and lemon juice until light and frothy.
Pour egg mixture into the par-baked crust.
Bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until brown around the edges.
Allow to cool completely then sprinkle on the powdered sugar.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
This is best served slightly chilled!
I love lemon tarts–especially with lots of tartness.

thanks for linking to Tasty Tuesday. Come back again next week http://nap-timecreations.blogspot.com/
This is amazing! I made this evening and it was a total hit. Right now it's my new favorite dessert. I agree it had just the right amount of sugar and lemon flavor. I had to cook both the pie and crust 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
This sounds very good!! I usually don't like lemon flavors, but this sounds like the right balace 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

I love the idea of baking this in a springform pan. I've always had issues with getting these out of a pan in one piece. Thanks!

Another beautiful dessert from you. Gorgeous! I love lemon in the summer. Thanks for sharing on A Well-Seasoned Life's Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
Great job creating your own, it just takes a slight mis-hap to fail this tart but you nailed it, looks awesome!
You're so right that they tend to be a little too sweet sometimes. I love that you created your own delicious version.
