Step 1

1. Make the shortbread cookie layer: whisk together the flour, salt, corn starch, and powdered sugar. Press into greased pan (glass or ceramic preferred) and bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown.

Step 2

2. Make lemon mixture while shortbread is baking: whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and lemon juice. (Optional: add 2 tablespoons of flour for structure.) Pour through sieve to remove any clumps.
