Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set it aside.
Step 2: Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Step 3: Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it is lightly golden.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake
Pour the lemon filling over the warm crust and return the baking pan to the oven. Bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
