Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
To make the crust:
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 1-2 minutes.
With the mixer on low, add the flour, salt and lemon juice and beat until just mixed.
Dump the dough into the prepared baking pan and press the dough to the edges of the pan to build up 1/2 inch on the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove from oven, leave the oven on and cool on a wire rack.
To make the filling:
Whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, salt, lemon juice and lemon zest in a large bowl. Mixture will be very runny.
Pour over the baked crust and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set and doesn't move when shaken.
Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares before serving.
