Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (, divided)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cold butter (, (2 sticks) )
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice* (, (I love Meyer lemons))
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Cream the powdered sugar and butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups of the flour and beat on medium speed until it looks like cornmeal. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in a large bowl either by hand or with an electric mixer. Sift the reserved 1/2 cup flour and baking powder into the mixture and mix well.
  • Pour over the hot crust and return to the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and the center is set. Check for doneness at 20 minutes, and add on more time as needed.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar when completely cool, cut and serve.
