(26 x 28cm pan)

Preheat an oven to 190°C.
To make the crust, line a baking pan with baking paper.
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar and lemon zest. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, until it looks like coarse meal.

Press the dough into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until pale, golden. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the crust cool.

To make the filling, whisk together the eggs and sugar in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and flour. Whisk until just blended. Carefully pour the mixture over the baked crust.

Bake for about 10 minutes, and reduce the oven temperature to 150°C. Bake for about another 10 minutes until the filling is set. Transfer the pan to the wire rack and let it cool.

Cut into small rectangle or square pieces.
