sugar, and salt. Add butter; stir with a wooden
spoon until combined and mixture looks crumbly.

minutes. Bake until slightly golden, 16 to 18
minutes.Meanwhile, make filling- In a large (1
quart) liquid measuring cup, whisk together eggs,
sugar, flour, and salt until smooth. Stir in lemon
juice and milk.

pour filling mixture over hot crust. Reduce oven
temperature to 325 degrees and bake until filling
is set and edges are slightly golden brown, about
18 minutes. An adult should remove dish from the
oven. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Grip paper; lift out dessert, and set on cutting
board. With a sieve, dust with confectioners' sugar.
