Ingredients for Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Ingredients for Filling:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Additional confectioners' sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Combine crust ingredients until it looks like small crumbs.
2. Press dough into a pan, I chose 9 x 13 but if you want your squares thicker then use a smaller pan. I would suggest glass.
3. Bake crust for 20 minutes.
4. Combine all the filling ingredients except the confectioners sugar (powdered sugar). *(Note: I normally put in more than the recommended amount of grated lemon peel or lemon zest).
5. Pour over the hot crust and bake for 25 minutes or until lightly brown on top. *(Note: cook time will vary based on what size pan you choose, the bigger the pan the shorter the cook time).
6. Cool them on a wire rack the dust with the powdered sugar. If you don't have a fancy duster you can just use a fine wire strainer.
