  • 2 large lemons , juice of, about a 1/2 cup

  3. While crust is baking mix: eggs, granulated sugar, remaining flour, lemon juice and salt.
  4. Pour over baked crust. Bake for 20 min more. If it's still a little loose in the middle turn off the oven, open the door for one minute to allow heat to escape then close it and leave in cooling oven for another 5-10 minutes until it has set.
