Ingredients

To make this refreshing lemon tart, you will need:

Step 1: Prepare the Tart Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, softened butter, and powdered sugar.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then press it evenly into a greased tart pan.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Lemon Filling

1. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
2. Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked tart crust.
3. Bake again for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 3: Cool and Serve

1. Let the tart cool completely at room temperature.
2. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour for best texture.
3. Slice into bars or wedges and enjoy!
