Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar on medium speed for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
2. Add the flour and mix just until no dry flour shows. Scrape down the bowl.
3. Press the base evenly into a lined 9 x 13 in (23 x 33 cm) pan using the back of a spoon.
4. Bake the base at 325°F (160°C) for 25–30 minutes, until the edges just start to brown.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and the 1/2 cup flour, then whisk in the 6 eggs until smooth.
6. Whisk in the lemon juice and the zest of one lemon, then mix well.
7. When the base is baked, pour the hot filling over it.
8. Return the pan to the oven, keeping it level, and bake 25–30 minutes. Check after 25 minutes: if the center does not jiggle when the pan is shaken, it is done; otherwise bake 5 more minutes.
9. Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate 1–2 hours to firm up.
10. Lift out using the paper, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
