Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment, then beat the softened butter with the 1/2 cup powdered sugar until creamy and mix in 1 3/4 cups of the flour until a soft crumbly dough forms.
- 2
Press the dough firmly into an even layer across the bottom of the pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the crust is set.
- 3
While the crust bakes, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup flour together until completely smooth and uniform.
- 4
Pour the lemon filling over the hot crust as soon as it comes out of the oven, then return to the oven and bake for another 20 to 22 minutes until the center is just set and no longer jiggly.
- 5
Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour for clean slices, dust generously with powdered sugar, and cut into squares.
