The recipe was good, but I did change a few things. I added also half squeeze lemon to the filing. And the crust I use 1/4 cup of shortening and half stick of butter, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then I stired in cold water slowly till it got to the mosit I like. Chilled it for 30 minutes. It work well with the tart.

This is such an easy recipe. Follow the instructions exactly and you can't go wrong. A quick and elegant dessert that is full of fresh lemony flavor. Definitely a keeper! I will be making again and again.

I had one lemon in the fridge and wanted to try making my first lemon dessert. This did the trick. EVERYBODY in my family loved it and they usually don't like anything that's too sweet. Only complaint is the crust. I don't have a food processor so I tried using the magic bullet. That didn't work so I had to try breaking down the butter with my hands/fork/knives. By that point, when I tried to press it into the pie pan, it got real sticky and the dough stuck to my hands. So it's my fault really, but the taste was worth it!

This is devine- I think I've made it 3 or 4 times. Its just so quick and easy (which is important for me- as I'm always struggling to find time) and I always have all the ingredients on hand! Only thing is the icing sugar I sprinkle on top always ends up "dissolving?" in? Other than that- delicious!

Terrific recipe! Easy, quick, delicious, and light! I put extra lemon zest, about 1.5 table spoon, and served it with fresh mint from my garden. My favorite part is the crust. Since my pie pan has tall edge, I mistakenly built a higher crust than needed. The exposed crust is baked into golden crisp. The crust itself is addictive. Everyone LOVED the tart at my dinner party tonight. I even allowed my self to get a second slice. lol Will definitely make it again! Thank you for the awesome recipe!

Delicious! Nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Fun, quick, and easy dessert. I used a lightly greased 8" pan, which gave me a thicker layer of filling. Edges should be golden brown. For a crispier crust, bake for about 5 minutes longer on the lower oven rack (cover top of tart with foil to help prevent over browning).

This is a really good recipe. I made it exactly as written, except that I doubled the filling. It is tart, but sweet. The crust is wonderful. My crust stuck to my pie plate but that was my fault for not greasing the plate enough. My family agreed that this one is a keeper!
