Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes

For the filling

4 large eggs
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)

For serving

2–3 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to use as handles for lifting.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and work them in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse, damp sand with no dry flour remaining.
