- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Zest of one lemon
- 1 cup unsalted butter , chilled and cut into cubes

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and lemon zest. Add the butter and toss with the flour mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter until the size of peas. Whisk the egg slightly, and stir it into the crumb mixture. Dough will be crumbly. Press half of the dough into the prepared baking pan.
