  4. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, ¼ cup lavender sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract. Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

  6. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the tart tin.
  7. Bake the crust covered with foil for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Meanwhile, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, and remaining lavender sugar. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup of flour.

  10. Cool the tart for 10-20 minutes at room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
