The recipe for these tangy lemon bars comes from my cousin Bernice, a farmer's wife famous for cooking up feasts. — Mildred Keller, Rockford, Illinois

Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1-1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 3 eggs
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Additional confectioners' sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until blended. Gradually beat in 1-1/2 cups flour. Press onto bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, lemon juice and remaining flour until frothy; pour over hot crust.

3. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lemon mixture is set and lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.
