Ingredients

CRUST
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1 tsp grated orange peel
3/4 c butter
FILLING
4 eggs
2 c sugar
1/3 c lemon juice
1/4 c flour
2 tsp grated lemon peel
2 tsp grated orange peel
1 tsp baking powder
TOPPING
2 c (16 oz) sour cream
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.In mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and citrus peel. Cut in butter (I find using forks is easiest) until mixture is crumbly. Process until mixture forms a ball. Pat crust into pan. Making it as even as possible. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly brown.
2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients: eggs, sugar, lemon juice, flour, lemon peel, orange peel, and baking powder; mix well. Pour over HOT crust. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until set and lightly browned.
3. In a bowl, combine topping ingredients: sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over filling. Bake 7-9 minutes longer or until topping is set. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate overnight. Cut just before serving.
