Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and 3/4 cup of the softened butter until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 4
While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs, remaining 2 cups sugar, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 cup butter (melted) until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the lemon filling over the hot crust and return to the oven.
Step 6
Bake for another 20-22 minutes, until the filling is just set and no longer jiggles in the center.
Step 7
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 8
Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares before serving.
