Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (140 g) gum-free gluten free flour blend
- ½ cup (58 g) confectioners’ sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 9 tablespoons (126 g) unsalted butter
- melted and cooled
- ⅔ cup (93 g) gum-free gluten free flour blend
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅔ cup (5.33 fluid ounces) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 (200 g out of shell) eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gum-free gluten free flour blend, confectioners’ sugar, kosher salt, and lemon zest. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together the gum-free gluten free flour blend, granulated sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and eggs to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust and return to the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely, then dust with additional confectioners’ sugar before slicing into bars for serving.
