Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir and press the mixture with a large spoon or rubber spatula until the butter is incorporated. Squeeze a small amount in your hand to test if it will hold together nicely. If not, add 1-2 more tablespoons of melted butter.

Press firmly into a prepared pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown.

In a medium bowl, mix the sweetener, xanthan gum and salt together with a hand mixer. Add the eggs and yolks and mix thoroughly. Add the lemon juice and mix until the sweetener is dissolved.
