Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
-
Make the crust: Mix butter and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth; stir in flour. Press dough into the prepared baking pan; pierce with a fork in several places to prevent crust from puffing up during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, 15 to 30 minutes. Leave the oven on.
-
Make the filling: Whisk white sugar and eggs together in a bowl. Whisk in flour, lemon juice, lemon peel, and salt until thoroughly combined; pour into cooled crust.
-
Bake until filling is set, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, then dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into 16 squares. Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve chilled.
