A pinch of salt

Add salt, cold butter, and flour to your food processor. Pulse a few times until well incorporated. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface.

Cut the dough into two, then flatten each and cover with plastic wrap. Place them in the fridge to chill for at least 20 minutes.

Unroll the dough to about 12-inch. Place it into a 10-inch pie plate.

Brownies:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

Apply cooking spray to the inside of an 8×8-inch baking dish. You can brush it with butter as well if you prefer.

Zest the lemons and squeeze the juice out of them. Set aside.

Add sugar, salt, butter, and flour to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat a few times until well incorporated.

In a mixing bowl, add lemon juice, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Stir everything until well combined.

Add glaze on top of the cake and spread it evenly to coat. Let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice it into even pieces.
