½ cup powdered sugar
8 ounces unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
5 eggs, slightly beaten
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
¼ cup fresh lemon juice, plus (about 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Filling: Beat the butter until it is light and fluffy, add the powdered sugar and beat again until fluffy.
2
Add the flour and mix until well incorporated-but don't over beat it or you will make the dough tough.
3
Press this into a 13 x 9 pan.
4
Pat evenly.
5
Bake 15-20 minutes until light or golden brown.
6
Meanwhile make the filling.
7
To beaten eggs add the sugar and mix well, stir in the lemon juice, flour lemon zest and baking powder and mix until well incorporated.
8
Pour over the warm crust (I only let the crust cool about 5 minutes any longer and the dough starts to shrink from the sides of the pan and your filling will seep underneath) Bake 30-35 minutes.
9
The center will not feel completely set-but that's okay-let cool completely than cut and dust with powdered sugar.
