1. 1Step 1: Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.
2. 2Step 2: Grease cupcake pans. Since the tarts tend to caramelize and stick when baked, it's best to make sure you grease the pans really well. Then leave aside.
3. 3Step 3: Using a small saucepan over medium heat, add the milk and lemon peels and bring to a slow simmer.
4. 4Step 4: Remove from heat and let the milk become infused with the lemon flavor. Don't forget to remove the peels before you use the milk in the recipe.
5. 5Step 5: In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar and beat until a creamy consistency. Next, add the softened butter, then add the flour a little at a time.
6. 6Step 6: Add the lemon-infused milk as well as vanilla and beat everything well together. This batter has a very runny consistency so resist the urge to add more flour.
7. 7Step 7: Once everything is well mixed fill tins about 3/4 of the way. Place in preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, depending on your oven, or until tops are a nice and golden color.
8. 8Step 8: The tarts will be a creamy but firm texture on the inside, and lightly crisp and caramelized on the outside. Even though you'll be tempted eat them right away, make sure to wait till they are cooled off completely before you bite into them.
9. 9Step 9: Before you serve, dust them with confectioners sugar.
