Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup white sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest

¼ cup ground almonds

½ cup softened butter

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs

⅓ cup flaked coconut, toasted (Optional)

2 tablespoons lemon zest

¼ cup lemon juice

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place 1 1/3 cups flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and the ground almonds in a mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and mix with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

While the crust is baking, stir together the brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and the baking powder in a bowl. Add the eggs, coconut, lemon zest, and lemon juice; whisk until the sugars have dissolved; pour over the crust.

Return to the oven and bake until the lemon filling has firmed, about 15 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting.
