Ingredients
Tart Shells:
-
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup cold unsalted butter
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
4 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
Lemon Curd Filling:
-
6 large egg yolks
-
1 cup white sugar
-
½ cup fresh lemon juice
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
-
1 ½ tablespoons grated lemon zest
Directions
-
Make shells: Mix together flour, butter, and salt in the bowl of an electric stand mixer and beat until dough becomes crumbly; alternatively, use a pastry blender. Add ice water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the consistency is smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup cupcake pan.
-
Roll out chilled dough on a cutting board and cut into 12 (3-inch) circles using a scalloped cookie cutter. Place dough into the prepared pan, pressing down the sides to fit.
-
Make filling: Combine egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest in a heavy, non-aluminum saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and filling thickens slightly. Do not allow to boil. Transfer to a bowl, and set aside to cool, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour filling into dough cups.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool before serving, 20 to 30 minutes.
