Lemon Butter Tarts

Lemon Butter Tarts

I love butter tarts, and can never get enough. This is one that I make now and then to be a little different.

Yield:
12 small tarts
Servings:
12

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 12 (3 inch) tart shells, baked
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ cup white sugar

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan. Add rind, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Beat eggs and egg yolks until thick, and add to lemon butter mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thick. Chill.

Step 2
Beat 3 egg whites until stiff. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, and continue beating until stiff and glossy. Fill baked tart shells with lemon custard, and top with meringue.

Step 3
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) just until tarts are a delicate brown color.
