Instructions
Heat the oven to 350°.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, butter, sugar and crystallized ginger. Pulse until a dough starts to form.
Press the dough into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Build up the sides about ½ inch. Bake for 20 minutes.
In the bowl of the food processor -- no need to wash it out -- blend topping ingredients until light and foamy, about three minutes.
Pour the lemon mixture over crust. Bake for about 25 minutes until set and no indentation remains when touched in the center.
Cool and cut into squares. Sift over additional powdered sugar, if desired.
