These tart lemon "pies" are a lovely conclusion to an elegant spring dinner! I garnish them with whipped cream, a strawberry fan, and a sprig of mint.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cups lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Process 1 cup flour, butter, and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar in a food processor for 10 seconds, or blend with a pastry blender until a dough forms. Pat dough evenly into a 9-inch round pie plate.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    While crust bakes, combine eggs, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons flour; mix until smooth. Pour egg mixture over hot crust.
