Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Add the butter to the microwave and melt for 25 seconds. It won't be fully melted, but should be mostly melted.
Combine the flour, sugar, butter and salt. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of water and mix until a dough forms.
If it seems too crumbly, whisk in the third tablespoon of water.
Press into the baking pan until even.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and sugar for the filling.
Whisk in all remaining ingredients until smooth.
When the crust is done, pour in the filling and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center looks set.
Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then let set in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before slicing.
Slice into 16 squares and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge.
Notes
For more tang, you can decrease the sugar to 1 cup or add an extra tablespoon of lemon zest.
