Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 125 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
- 60 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 3 large Eggs
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 22cm (9-inch) tart pan or pie dish with butter and set aside.
Melt the butter in a microwave or small saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour in the milk and whisk until the batter is smooth and slightly thin.
Pour the batter into the prepared tart pan or pie dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the tart to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Before serving, dust the top of the tart with powdered sugar for a decorative touch. Enjoy!
