Lemon Honey Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Tart Shell:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Tart Shell:

  1. In a food processor, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and pulse until the dough comes together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and press it into a tart pan. Trim any excess dough.
  5. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool.

Lemon Honey Filling:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Pour the lemon honey mixture into the cooled tart shell.
  3. Bake the tart at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set.
  4. Allow the tart to cool completely before serving.

Optional:

  • Dust the cooled tart with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh lemon slices or zest.
