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

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups butter
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 0.33 cups lemon juice
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 eggs yolks
  • 12 , 3 inch
  • 3 eggs whites
  • 0.25 cups white sugar

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

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