Isn't the phrase "just like how Mom used to make it" the highest compliment you can get in the kitchen? Mommy Dearest Lemon Tart is more than just how Mom used to make it... it might actually be better! A rich, luscious, lemony filling, so sunny and sweet, within a nutty, zesty, buttery crust... who could ask for anything more than that? The raspberries on top just add that extra zing you'd come to expect from a summer treat. Mommy Dearest Lemon Tart might just be what you bake for your mom when you're looking to show off a little!
