For the shortbread crust: Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

Typically, the crust can be made in a food processor by adding in all the ingredients until it forms a dough. However, if you do not have a food processor, in a large bowl add all the dry ingredients together and stir. Then, add in the cold butter (use a cheese grater to grate the butter) and with a fork or your hands, blend in the butter with the dry ingredients.
3
Take the dough and use your fingertips to press the dough evenly into a greased 9X9 square pan. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside and allow to cool.

For the lemon filling:

Mix in all the ingredients with your stand mixer or use your hand held mixer until the mixture is smooth. Pour this over the baked crust and place back in the oven for 25 minutes or until set. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with candied lemon peel, if you would like.
