Prep Time10 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time50 mins
Crust
 2 cups Flour
 1 cup Soft Butter
 ½ cup Powdered Sugar
Lemon Filling
 4 Eggs
 2 cups White Granulated Sugar
 56 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
 ½ tsp Salt
 1 tsp Baking Powder
 ¼ cup Flour
Crust
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2

In medium bowl, cream butter. Add flour and powdered sugar. Mix until it forms a dough. This may take a few minutes, but be patient.

3

In greased 9x13 pan, spread dough evenly. It is deceiving, but it will fill the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

Lemon Filling
4

In new bowl, beat 4 eggs and sugar until blended. Add 5 to 6 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. (I did 5 and thought it could've used more). Blend.

5

Add salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until fully incorporated without over blending.

6

Pour on baked crust. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. Let cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving. May take upwards of 5 hours.
