Serves/Makes: 16 , Difficulty Level: 3 , Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch sheet pan with heavy duty
aluminum foil, so that the ends of the foil hang over the sides and set aside.
In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the powdered sugar. Cut in
the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press in an even layer into
the bottom of the pan and bake until pale tan, about 20 minutes.
Reduce the
oven temperature to 325 degrees F. While the crust is baking, prepare the
filling. (The filling will set up better if the crust is still warm.)
In
large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale yellow and frothy. Add
the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, and the remaining ingredients and whisk to
combine. Pour over the warm crust and bake until set, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool
completely on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting with a
thin, sharp knife into squares.
