To make crust:

Combine flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor.

Add butter and pulse until the mixture is pebbly.

Press evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.

Set aside crust.

To make filling:

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour and salt.

Whisk in lemon zest and juice until well combined.

Pour over crust (it's okay if crust is still hot).
