- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- Juice of 4 lemons

Instructions
How to Make the Crust

- Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes or until it’s baked through and golden in color. Remove it from the oven and set it aside while you make the filling. Keep the oven heated to 350°F.
How to Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and flour together. Add the eggs and lemon juice and stir until well combined. Pour the filling over the crust.
