8 servings

  • ¾ cup butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Instructions

  • Combine butter, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer; mix ingredients thoroughly with a paddle attachment. Mix flour into butter mixture to make a smooth dough. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan; refrigerate crust for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake crust until light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whisk sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl until smooth. Pour lemon filling into crust. Cover edges of crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Bake tart until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool completely and dust with confectioners' sugar.
