Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and the softened butter. Mix until crumbly and resembles wet sand.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch square baking pan, creating an even layer.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Filling
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until smooth and frothy.
- Pour the lemon mixture over the warm baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the filling is set, but still has a gentle jiggle.
Cooling and Serving
- Let cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
