Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Zest of 2 lemons
– 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even crust layer. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden.

6. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
