Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make crust: Pulse all ingredients except butter in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until crumbly and butter is in small pieces.

Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Press crust into bottom and slightly up sides. Bake until light golden, 25 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes.

Make filling: Whisk together flour and sugar in a medium bowl, then whisk in eggs and citrus zest and juice just to blend. Pour over crust and bake until only slightly jiggly in center, about 22 minutes.

Let cool, chill several hours or overnight, and cut into bars. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
