## Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Add the flour and powdered sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to mix.
3. Add the butter and pulse until combined and the dough starts to form into a ball.
4. Remove the dough from the food processor and press into the bottom of the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly and to the edges.
5. Bake at 350 degrees until the edges are slightly golden.
6. To make the filling, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour until completely combined.
7. Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake at 350 degrees until the edges are set and the middle is still slightly jiggly.
8. Cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or even overnight.
10. Cut into 36 squares and serve at room temperature.
11. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No salted butter? Use 1 cup unsalted butter plus 1/4 tsp salt.
- No fresh lemon juice? Bottled lemon juice can be used in the same 0.75 cup amount, though flavor will be milder.

### Making it ahead

The crust and filling can be baked up to 2 days ahead; keep the finished squares covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
