1 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp lemon peel

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

Heat oven to 350 º F. I a small bowl mix butter, flour and icing sugar.

In another bowl beat remaining ingredients with a mixer on high speed for about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Pour over hot cooked crust.

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until almost no mark is left when touched. ( I like to leave it a little softer for a creamier texture). Cool for about an hour and cut and sprinkle icing sugar on top.
