Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 2 large eggs. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup lemon juice. 1 tablespoon lemon zest. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Confectioners' sugar, for dusting.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, and softened butter until crumbly. Press the mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm and lightly golden. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and baking powder until well combined. Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares and serve.
