1. Preparation of ingredients:
Take the butter out in advance so it’s at room temperature or melt it gently, then let it cool.
If using lemon, wash and finely grate the zest. Set aside.
Prepare a 23 to 24 cm diameter tart pan and line it with baking paper.
2. Creation of the batter:
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and caster sugar using an electric whisk or hand mixer until light and fluffy (3 to 5 minutes).
Gradually add the flour to the egg-sugar mixture, mixing to avoid lumps.
Pour in the cooled melted butter and mix gently until smooth.
3. Adding flavors and yogurt:
Add vanilla extract or grated lemon zest to flavor your dough.
Add the plain yogurt and mix gently until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. Cooking:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (static mode).
Pour the mixture into the prepared tart pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tart is golden and firm to the touch.
Let cool in the pan on a rack — it will firm up as it cools.
5. Demolding and finishing:
Once cooled, carefully unmold the tart.
Just before serving, sprinkle with icing sugar for a delicious and aesthetic finish.
