Preparation
Drain the raspberries in a strainer set over a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Using your fingers, combine the butter, sugar and the flour and blend together until coarse crumbs form.
OR–
Use a food processor and pulse the butter, flour and sugar until crumbly.
Pour the mixture into an ungreased nonstick 9-inch springform or cake pan and press down evenly to form a crust.
Bake the shortbread crust until lightly golden, about 20 minutes.
Remove the shortbread from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F.
Scatter the drained raspberries evenly over the baked shortbread.
Beat the eggs with the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar until thick and pale yellow.
Whisk in the lemon zest, the lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 cup of flour.
Pour the lemon cream over the raspberries and bake the tart until the custard is set, about 30 minutes.
Let cool, then dust with confectioners’ sugar.
