Recipe:
Crust Preparation:
- Combine melted butter, sugar, zest, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until mixed. Add flour and stir until a soft dough forms.

- Refrigerate the dough-lined tart shell for 30 minutes while heating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prick the crust all over with a fork and bake for 20-25 minutes until it's a golden brown. Now it's tart-ready and time to move on to the filling.
Filling Preparation:
