This easier-than-pie do-ahead dessert makes a refreshingly light and cooling finish for any picnic or barbecue.
Delightfully sweet-tart and filled with vitamin C, this is one sunny, heart-lifting gem of a tart.
Crust:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into bits
Filling:
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl, and cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Press the dough into the bottom and partway up the side of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake crust 20 minutes.
2. Blend the filling ingredients, and pour mixture into the partially baked tart shell. Bake the tart another 25 minutes.
Serve warm or chilled.
Makes one 9-inch tart.

I'm not a big fan of lemon filling, but I might just try this.

Sounds like a nice once in awhile treat.
I'm not exactly clear where the "shortbread" is in this tart, but it does sound like it's a very lovely tart for hot summer days.
