Ingredients
  • CRUST
  • 1 1/4 cup (140 grams) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light-flavored oil (sunflower or other)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • TOPPING
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 to 3 lemons (1/2 cup juice and about 1 tablespoon zest)
  • 3 tablespoons starch (corn starch, tapioca starch, or arrowroot powder)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8-inch by 8-inch pan.
  2. Make the crust: Sift the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sugar, and salt through a sieve into a medium bowl. Add the oil, almond extract, and water and mix with a fork or hands until all ingredients are moist and dough holds together. Press into pan, forming an even layer. Bake until lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. While the crust is baking, make the topping: Zest and juice the lemons and strain out any seeds. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and starch until well blended. Pour topping onto hot crust. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, just until topping is set and no longer jiggles when the pan is lightly shaken.
  4. Cool. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 1 week. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar and cut into 9 squares.
