2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9"x13"x2" pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2-1/4 cups of the flour, butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Press dough into baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven.
Meanwhile, beat sugar, lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 cup flour, eggs, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour over hot crust.
