Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 1 ⅔ cups (233 g) gluten-free flour blend (superfine white rice flour + potato starch + tapioca starch)
    • ½ cup (58 g) confectioners’ sugar (plus more for dusting)
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • Zest of 1 large lemon

    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    • ⅔ cup (5.33 fluid ounces) freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of 4 to 5 lemons)
