  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice

  2. Topping: Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; using a pastry blender or fingertips, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger pieces.
