Step 1: Make the Crust
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, flour, and sugar until it forms a crumbly mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside while you make the filling.Step 2: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Add in the flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt, and whisk until everything is well combined. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.Step 3: Cool and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!Nutrition
