Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large fresh lemons (zested and juiced)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
