Crust:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
½ tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
Filling:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh lemon juice (from 5 or 6 lemons)
6 large eggs plus 1 large yolk
1/8 teaspoon salt

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan; line with parchment paper. Lay another sheet of parchment crosswise, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides.
2
Pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch and salt in a food processor. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pulse in yolk until mixture comes together.
3
Press into an even 1/4-inch-thick layer in pan. Freeze for 15 minutes. Bake, rotating halfway through, until crust is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
4
Make filling: Mix flour and sugar. Whisk in lemon zest and juice. Whisk eggs, yolk and salt into lemon mixture.
5
Pour lemon mixture over warm crust. Reduce oven temperature to 300u00b0F. Bake until filling is just set in center, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack, then cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
