Ingredients

Crust

  • cups flour
  • cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons frozen butter

Filling

  • 4 beaten eggs
  • 1⅓ cups white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • cup lemon juice
  • cup milk
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

Crust

  • In a medium sized bowl, mix the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt together. Use a cheese grater to grate the frozen butter into the dry ingredients. Toss the ingredients together and use your fingers to rub the grated frozen butter into the mixture.
  • Line a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Add the crust mixture into the pan and press firmly into a even ¼ inch layer on the bottom, with ½ an inch extending up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • After the crust has been refrigerated, bake for 20 minutes at 350° F, until it is golden brown.

Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and flour. Then mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, and salt.
  • Pour the filling mixture into the warm crust. Bake at 325° F for about 20 minutes, or until the filling feels firm when you touch it. Let it cool for 20-30 minutes before eating.
