Incredibly Good Lemon Squares:

· Crust:

· 2 sticks butter

· 2 cups flour

· ½ cup confectioner’s sugar

· Filling:

· 4 eggs

· zest of 2 lemons

· juice of 2 lemons

· 2 cups sugar

· 4 tablespoons flour

· 1 teaspoon baking powder

· pinch salt

· powdered sugar for the top

Preheat your oven to 350*F. To make the crust, cut the butter into pieces and put that into a bowl with the flour and powdered sugar. Mix with fingers until it looks like cornmeal and put in a 9 x 13 pan. Pat it down just on the bottom with your fingers and put into the preheated oven -- let cook for 15-20 minutes until a pale golden brown. While the crust is cooking, make the filling: In a bowl whisk together the eggs just to break the yoke. To the eggs add the zest of 2 lemons, juice of 2 lemons (no seeds), sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together just until incorporated. As soon as the crust is done baking add the filling and put right back into the oven. Don’t worry about letting the crust cool down. Cook for another 20 minutes. When they come out, add some sifted powdered sugar on top. When the bars are cooled, just cut and serve!
