2) 1 cup sugar
3) zest from 2 lemons
4) 5 tbsp lemon juice
5) 5 tbsp flour

Recipe

2) Whisk all the ingredients for the filling and spread it on the baked crust. Bake(oven must be preheated to 180 C) for another 30-35 mins. Cut it into pieces when it cools down to room temperature. Dust with icing sugar and serve!
