Lemon Tartlets
These look-and taste-like a lot of work, but there are just two steps: cooking the filling and spooning it into the shells.
Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 large lemons
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 45 frozen miniature phyllo shells, thawed
Directions
Grate 2 teaspoons lemon zest. Juice lemons and strain juice.
Combine sugar, butter, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice in a double boiler over medium- high heat.
Cook, stirring continually, until butter is melted. Cook, stirring continually, until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Let stand to cool slightly.
Spoon lemon filling into phyllo shells. Let stand to cool completely.
Secret Tip
Try cooking the filling in the microwave for the fastest result. Combine the sugar, butter, eggs, lemon juice and zest in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH (70% power) for 9 minutes or until thick enough to coat a spoon, stirring every minute or two.
