Prep time: 5 minutes. Cook time: 45 minutes. Rest time: 1 hour. Total time: 1 hour 50 minutes
Preheat the oven. Set it to 175°C. Line your baking pan— 9×13—with parchment.
Make the crust. Stir the flour, icing sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter and rub it in with your fingers until it clumps like wet sand. Press it into the pan with your palms.
Bake the base for 18 minutes or so. You want it lightly golden, not browned. While that’s going make the filling.
Mix the filling. Whisk eggs and sugar together until they stop looking grainy. Add flour, lemon juice, and zest. Whisk again until it feels smooth and silky.
Pour and bake again. As soon as the crust’s out, pour the lemon mix on top. It’ll sizzle a little. Bake again—20 to 25 minutes—until the center barely jiggles and the top looks matte, not shiny.
Cool it down for an hour, then dust with icing sugar and cut into squares.
