13. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet.

Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into the greased baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.

16. For the lemon layer, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or about five minutes beyond the point where the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
17. Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
