Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking dish. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until crumbly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, mix together the lemon juice and egg. Gradually stir this mixture into the crust until well combined. Pour it over the crust in the dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares and dusting with powdered sugar.
