Ingredients

8 servings

For the crust

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
3 tbsp powdered sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 large egg yolk
2 tbsp ice water

For the filling

¾ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4–5 lemons)
1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
¾ cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes

For serving

powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and work them in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs with no large butter chunks remaining.
2
Stir together the egg yolk and ice water in a small bowl, then drizzle over the flour mixture. Toss with a fork and press the dough together until it just holds when squeezed — it will look shaggy but should not be sticky. If it crumbles apart, add ice water 1 tsp at a time.
