• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Beat eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer until lightened in color.
• Mix white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and baking powder in a bowl until no lumps remain; beat into the eggs until incorporated fully. Stir lemon juice and lemon zest to the egg mixture; pour over the prepared crust.
• Bake in preheated oven until set in the middle and the edges are slightly golden, about 25 minutes.
• Cool pastry in the pan until just warm to the touch, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cool completely. Lift pastry from pan by the foil and refrigerate until slightly firmed. Cut into 2-inch squares; halve each square diagonally to get triangles.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350-degrees.

• Whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
• Pour in the butter mixture in a fine stream, stirring with a fork, and continue stirring until the dough begins to come together when a small bit is pressed between your fingers.

• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown.
• Let cool on a wire rack while making the filling.
• Process the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1 Tablespoon of zest in a food processor until the zest is finely ground.
• Whisk together the eggs, the sugar and zest mixture, the lemon juice, and another pinchy of salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
• Beat the cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a medium bowl just until it forms soft peaks.
• Whisk the cream into the egg mixture until just blended.
• Place a baking sheet in the oven, place the crust on the baking sheet, and pour the filling into the still-warm crust.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is just set in the center.
• Let the pie cool on a wire rack.
• Just before service, generously sift confectioners' sugar over the tart.
