Ingredients

• CRUST
• 2 sticks butter
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 cups flour
• LEMON MIXTURE
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
• 6 tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• Confectioners' sugar for top

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups of flour and beat until blended. Spread evenly in well-greased 13 X 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Beat eggs until frothy. Gradually add sugar, until thickened. Add lemon juice, peel, 1/3 cup flour and baking powder. Beat until thoroughly blended. Pour over baked crust, return to oven and bake 20-30 minutes, until pale gold.

Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with powdered sugar. (I do this after they have cooled). After cooling, cut into small squares.
