### Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and pour the lemon mixture over the hot crust. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for that extra flair!
- Cut into squares and serve. Try to resist eating them all in one go—no promises, though!
