Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, melted butter, and salt until crumbly. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping.
  2. Press the remaining mixture firmly into an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Pour this mixture over the baked crust and sprinkle the reserved crumb topping on top.
  4. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and the top is golden.
  5. Allow cooling completely before slicing; refrigerate for at least an hour for best results.
