Preheat oven to 325˚F (165˚C).
In a large bowl, mix all the shortbread base ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Press the dough into the prepared glass pan and pierce with a fork all over. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until just golden brown.
While the crust is baking, whisk together the lemon custard filling until smooth and uniform. Do not worry about the filling being too runny!
Pour the lemon mixture over the warm crust and return to the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling just no longer jiggles.
Carefully, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and let the bars cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before slicing. Optional: Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
