Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º F. To make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Drop the butter pieces into the flour mixture and rub together with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Drip in vanilla and lemon extracts and stir/rub together until blended. Press into an ungreased 9x13 pan and bake for 20 minutes. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.

To make the filling: Beat the eggs until foamy. Add the sugar, flour and fresh lemon juice. Beat until well combined. Remove the crust from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 350º F. Pour the filling over the crust and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until nicely browned and not jiggly. Chill for at least an hour in the fridge before cutting. Once cut, sift powdered sugar over the top.
