A lemon tart is a dessert dish, a variation of a tart. They have a normal, crimped, versatile pastry shell, while the filling is a basic variation of lemon paste.
These mini-pastries are made in three ways. One way is to have a half-spherical pastry, and lemon filling, while the second way is to have a spherical pastry with lemon filling inside, and the third way, is to have a half spherical pastry, with cream and lemon inside. Lemon tarts may vary, such as they may be sweet or sour.
They are classified as mini-pastries because regular pastries have either a sweet or salty shell, and because regular pastries are usually bigger. Lemon Tarts are usually in the shape of handle-less teacups.
The lemon filling does not have to be baked, but the shell does. The more intensely the shell is baked, the more crisp it will become.
