How to Make Lemon Tassies

Make pastry according to your favorite recipe (or use store-bought) and fit it into 24 miniature muffin tins.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
For the filling: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/4 cup (60ml) light corn syrup, 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon.
Divide the filling evenly among the pastry shells.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let the tassies cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving and storing in the freezer.
