Ingredients

24 servings

  • 24 (2 inch) frozen tart shells, thawed
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided
  • ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk, shaken
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange tart shells on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven; leave oven on.
  • Whisk egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, butter, lemon juice, and zest together in a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk. Add flour and salt; whisk well.
  • Pour filling into the tart shells, filling them almost to the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling rises and appears set, about 15 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
  • Prepare meringue while the tarts are baking. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until frothy. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar; continue beating until meringue is stiff and shiny.
  • Top baked tarts with meringue. Ensure that you press the meringue down to form a seal around the edges.
  • Return tarts to oven and bake until meringue starts to brown, about 10 minutes more. Let cool before serving.
