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!
