  2. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix melted butter with lavender sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir in flour to form a dough, and press into a lined 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Whisk together eggs, lemon juice, lavender sugar, and lemon zest. Sift in a bit of flour and whisk until smooth.
