INGREDIENTS:

½ cup unsalted butter (plus 1 Tbsp for greasing two pans; ½ cup equals 4 oz, 8 Tbsp, or 1 stick of butter)
3 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell) (at room temperature)
⅔ cup sugar
¼ tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp lemon zest (one lemon yields 2-3 tsp of zest; in a pinch, you can use orange zest)
1 cup all-purpose flour (plain flour) (plus 1 Tbsp for dusting two pans; 1 cup should weigh 120 g, and I encourage you to weigh your flour; if you use a measuring cup, please follow this method; otherwise, you may scoop more flour than you need)
1 tsp baking powder

For Serving
½ Tbsp confectioners’ sugar/powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
