Only 5 ingredients, and easy to make

ingredients

For the pastry base
  • 1 cup cold butter, cut in small pieces
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
For the lemon layer
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 4 eggs
  • zest of two lemons, very finely chopped
  • juice of 2 lemons (about ⅔ to ¾ cup juice)

directions

To make the pastry base
  1. Using a pastry cutter or in a food processor blend together the butter sugar and flour.
  2. Press evenly into the bottom of a greased and parchment paper lined 9×13 inch baking pan.
  3. Bake for 20 to minutes at 350 degrees F ( 325 degrees F if you are using glass bake-ware) The bottom should just be beginning to brown slightly at the top edges.
For the lemon topping
  1. Simply whisk together the sugar flour, eggs, zest and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Allow the topping to sit for about 10 minutes before whisking together well again and pouring over the baked shortbread base.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about another 20- 25 minutes or until the top is slightly browned and the custard appears to be set. Cool completely. Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool or try adding a meringue topping.

I would recommend using your fingers when mixing the butter/flour/sugar. My blender couldn't stir it properly.

Turned out great! Mix the crust with your hands and make sure butter is really cold. My husband wouldnt stop eating them!

Very delicious! Was suspicious considering it was pretty much only eggs, sugar and lemon how thin was. Also had trouble shaping the dough for filling not to leak out but overall very good!
