Sac Foodies

Shared by Melinda McRae 

Crust:

2  cups flour
1/2  cup powdered sugar
1  cup butter (chilled and sliced into 1 Tbsp bricks)
Melinda’s addition:  Zest from one lemon

Aunt Kay used two forks to mix it up, but I found that making it in the food processor actually works better – pulse it until it becomes a “butter ball” (approximately 20 pulses, don’t over process).  I also added lemon zest from one lemon to the crust — Aunt Kay would be proud

Press crust into 9×13 pan, poke a fork throughout, bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes.

Filling:

1/4  cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs beaten
2  cups sugar
1/3  cup fresh lemon juice

Mix and pour over crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
