Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your baking dish by greasing an 8-inch square pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until well mixed.
Stir in the melted butter until you achieve a crumbly texture.
Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl.
Fold in the cranberries gently.
Pour this mixture over the baked crust and spread it evenly.
Bake again for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the filling is set and slightly jiggles in the middle.
Let it cool in the pan for at least an hour, then sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and cut into squares.
