Ingredients
-
24 (2 inch) frozen tart shells, thawed
-
4 eggs, separated
-
1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided
-
¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
-
3 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 lemon, zested
-
1 ½ cups buttermilk, shaken
-
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 pinch salt
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange tart shells on a baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven; leave oven on.
-
Whisk egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, butter, lemon juice, and zest together in a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk. Add flour and salt; whisk well.
-
Pour filling into the tart shells, filling them almost to the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until filling rises and appears set, about 15 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
-
Prepare meringue while the tarts are baking. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until frothy. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar; continue beating until meringue is stiff and shiny.
-
Top baked tarts with meringue. Ensure that you press the meringue down to form a seal around the edges.
-
Return tarts to oven and bake until meringue starts to brown, about 10 minutes more. Let cool before serving.
