Lemon Impossible Mini-Tarts in real life.
Mouth-watering pictures of Lemon Impossible Mini-Tarts are all over the internet, but they are generally misleading because the recipe bakes its own crust yet they are shown in premade pastry shells. The actual recipe makes something between a tart and a cookie which is quite a pleasant snack. Makes 12 mini-tarts, or 6 less-mini-tarts if you double up the amount in each muffin mold for a more substantial treat.
Ingredients
1 c milk
½ c white sugar
½ c all purpose flour
2 large eggs
¼ c unsalted butter (melted)
1 T lemon zest (from 1 lemon), finely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 T)
1 t vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Method: beat eggs in a mixing bowl then whisk in all ingredients, adding the melted butter next to last so it won’t curdle the eggs followed by the lemon zest. Transfer to a 12-cup well buttered muffin r 20-25 minutes until Impossible Lemon Mini-Tarts are set and starting to brown. Let cool completely in pan before removing.
