Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 fresh lemons (juiced)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for filling)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and ½ cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the 1 ½ cups of flour until combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake the crust for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add in the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar and mix well. Stir in the lemon juice and the tablespoon of flour to thicken slightly.
- Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust and return it to the oven for another 20-25 minutes until set.
- Allow cooling completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
