Homestyle Orange Tarts Recipe with Fresh Citrus Flavor

These orange tarts come together with the kind of warmth that fills the whole kitchen. The batter starts with freshly grated orange zest, and you can smell that sunshine the moment it hits the bowl. The eggs whip up light and airy, giving the tarts that soft, tender crumb that always gets people asking for seconds. A full cup of fresh orange juice keeps them bright and citrusy, while the melted butter brings a mellow richness that feels like home. Once they bake to a gentle golden edge, the coarse sugar on top melts just slightly, leaving a sweet, delicate crunch that makes every bite a little special. They unmold beautifully and cool into the kind of treat you can’t help but snack on while standing at the counter. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and a result that tastes like something a proud home cook dad would brag about.

    You should add orange juice after you combine dry and wet ingredients.

    I was thinking of making these with Gluten free flour, since I’m Celiac. Any suggestions?

    Hi Eljanor, yes you can, just substitute the same amount of gluten free flour for the all-purpose flour.

    Hi Krissy, these tarts can be stored in a air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and no I would not mail them due to their short shelf life.
