  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • Lemon Layer Ingredients:
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¾ Cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Flour
  • 3 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, use a fork or pastry blender to mix together the crust ingredients to form a crumbly dough.
  • Press into the bottom of a greased 8x8 baking dish.
  • Bake the crust at *350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • While that is baking, use a separate large bowl to mix the eggs, sugar, flour and lemon juice until well combined.
  • Add in the baking powder last and whisk together until no lumps remain.
  • Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked crust and place it back in the oven at *350 degrees for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the lemon layer is set.
