Instructions

1

Make crust: Combine butter, sugar, vanilla, 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.

2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3

Bake crust in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

4

Make filling: Whisk together sugar, eggs, lemon juice, flour, and lemon zest in a large bowl until smooth. Pour lemon filling into crust. Cover edges of crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.

5

Bake tart until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool completely and dust with confectioners' sugar.
