Serves: 10
Ingredients
For the crust:
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cups all purpose flour, unbleached
  • Pinch of salt
For the filling:
  • 3 extra-large eggs at room temperature
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the crust
  1. Cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into muffin sheet, building up a ¼ -1/2 inch edge on all sides. Chill.
  2. Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
For the filling
  1. Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. Chill and serve!
