Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° and position the rack in the middle.

  2. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave extra paper hanging over the edges.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.

  4. Add butter and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until the butter is evenly distributed. The mixture should be crumbly but stick together when pressed.

  5. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly into the pan, including the sides and corners. You can shape the dough into a ball first if it makes it easier.

  6. Bake the shortbread for 13-17 minutes, or until the top and edges turn golden brown. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool.

  7. While the shortbread is cooling, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, and salt in a small bowl.

  8. In a large saucepan, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, passion fruit juice, lemon juice, and granulated sugar until combined.

  9. Add the dry ingredients to the saucepan and whisk until everything is well incorporated.

  10. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the curd, whisking constantly and making sure to reach the corners of the pan. Cook until the curd starts to release steam and thicken, which should take about 9-12 minutes.
