Lemon Bar Tart

  Serves 6-8
     
 
One of my favorite cookies has to be Lemon Bars—gooey bittersweet lemon flavor combined with a sweet, crumbly crust. For years I never thought of using the same technique for making a lemon tart, but once I did, I found what I think is the perfect recipe. A 1" deep non-stick tart pan with a removable bottom works best for the pastry shell.
Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
½ cup melted butter
Lemon Filling
2 eggs ¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. grated fresh lemon peel 3 tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour ¼ tsp. baking powder
Powdered sugar for garnish

Heat oven to 350°. Combine flour, sugar and butter in a large bowl. Pat mixture into a 8" tart shell pan. Bake tart shell in oven until just browned, about 10-12 minutes.

Heat oven to 350°. In a mixing bowl add granulated sugar, lemon peel and juice. Beat until mixture thickens and is smooth, about 5 minutes. With mixer running, add flour and baking powder and mix until well-blended, about 3 minutes. Pour lemon mixture into tart shell and bake in oven for 20 minutes or until pastry edge is golden and lemon mixture is set. Remove from oven and let cool.

To serve, cut lemon tart into wedges. Using a sifter, sprinkle tart with powdered sugar. Serve with either whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
