Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
⅔ cup confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, 1/3 cup of confectioners' sugar, and butter until butter is in very small crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 11x7-inch pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, 2/3 cup of confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Just before the crust is done, stir in the baking powder. Pour over the crust while it is hot, and return to the oven.
  • Bake for another 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until set. Dust with remaining confectioners' sugar when cool.
