List of Ingredients




3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter

2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 large eggs
zest from one large lemon, about one tablespoon
juice from one large lemon, 1/3 cup juice

powdered sugar


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

1. Mix the two cups flour and 3/4 cups powdered sugar together in a medium bowl. With a pastry knife, cut in the butter until granular. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 8 x 13-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
2. In your medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and baking powder. Add the eggs, zest, and lemon juice. Mix with a spatula until smooth.
3. Pour the lemon filling over the crust. Bake for 35 minutes or until the top starts to brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Use a mini-strainer or sifter to dust the top with powdered sugar. Cut into squares.

Baker’s tip: Once chilled, buttery crusts can stick to the pan making it hard to remove the bars intact. Heat up a wet cloth in the microwave and place the pan on the hot cloth. The heat will soften the butter on the bottom and make removal much easier.
