Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
For the crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed.
Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and gather into a ball.
Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 x 13 x 2 baking sheet, building up a 1/2 edge on all sides.
Chill.
Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned.
Let cool on a wire rack, leaving the oven on.
For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and flour, and pour into the crust.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes more, until the filling is set.
Let cool to room temperature.
Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.
