Shortbread Bottom
- 2 cups flour all purpose, whole wheat or pastry flour
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 1 cup cold butter, grated
Filling
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Filling
While the bottom bakes, stir together all of the filing ingredients together in a bowl.
When the bottom is done, pull it out of the oven and pour the filling overtop right away.
Return to oven for 25 min.
The filling will still be a little jiggly but it shouldnt be runny.
