Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, letting the ends overhang the edges.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, powdered sugar and salt for the crust. Add the butter cubes and toss to coat, then add the vanilla if using.
3. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your hands until crumbly.
4. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared dish.
5. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Take it out and let it cool slightly while you make the filling.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar and lemon zest until well mixed. Add the eggs and lemon juice and whisk until smooth. For a smoother filling, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve if you like.
7. Pour the filling onto the warm crust and bake for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
8. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes to 1 hour, then lift it out with the parchment. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and cut into squares.
