- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, forming a flat, compact layer.
- Bake the crust for 18–20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the warm crust. Gently spread it out with a spatula to ensure even coverage.
Step 5: Bake Until Set
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to prevent a rubbery texture.
