Steps:
- 1. Make the crust. Mix all crust ingredients well and pat into a 9" x 13" or quarter sheet pan. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350° until lightly golden. Remove to wire rack.
- 2. Make the filling. Mix together the sugar, 1/4 C flour, and baking powder. Beat together the eggs, the freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh lemon zest. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and beat well.
- 3. Pour onto the pre-baked crust and then bake another 25 minutes until the filling has firmed. Tap lightly with your fingertip to test. Cool then dust with powdered sugar.You can also add some more lemon zest to the top if you like.
- 4. *I have used both Namaste and Domata brands recipe-ready Gluten Free flour to successfully to replace the all purpose flour.
