Whisk 1 cup of flour with powdered sugar.
Cut in butter and cream until crumbs form.
Press into a 8 inch square baking pan, building up 1/2 an inch on all sides. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges are just golden.
While crust bakes, prepare filling.
Beat eggs, lemon juice, and granulated sugar until pale, about 2 minutes.
Add 3 Tbls. flour and beat until just combined.
Pour over hot crust and return to oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until filling is set.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Using a knife dipped in hot water, slice into squares and remove from pan with a thin spatula.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
