Ingredients

• FOR THE CRUST:
• ½ pound butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 6 extra-large eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1-3/4 cups powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
• 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
• 1 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup flour

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• For the crust, cream the butter and sugar using an electric mixer, until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt and beat on low speed, until just mixed. Press the dough into a 9 x 13 baking pan, building up a ½ edge on all sides. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into 20 squares. Using a sifter, dust lightly with powdered sugar.
