Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Lemon Layer
- 4 eggs
- 5-6 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-x-13-inch glass baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix butter, flour, powdered sugar and salt with a pastry cutter or spatula. Pat mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Make sure to not let it brown.
- While crust is baking, blend eggs, lemon juice, granulated sugar and flour in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until frothy, about 30 seconds. Pour over warm crust.

- Let cool completely in the pan. Sift powdered sugar over the top before cutting into squares.
