Ingrédients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend until dough forms.
  • Press the dough into 4-inch tartlet pans. Prick the bottoms with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour into the baked tart shells.
  • In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon or pipe the meringue over the lemon filling, making sure to seal the edges.
  • Bake the tartlets for 10-12 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
