  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix in the melted butter until crumbly.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

  • While the crust is baking, whisk together eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar in a separate bowl.
  • Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
