Instructions

For the Crust:

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Add the cold cubed butter and using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan to form the crust.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the crust for about 15-18 minutes until it turns golden. Let it cool.

For the Lemon Curd:

In a saucepan, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove the lemon curd from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into the baked tart crust.
Chill the Lemon Tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Garnish with fresh lemon slices or zest before serving this zesty delight.
