Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, butter and powdered sugar.

Press in ungreased square pan, 8x8x2 inches or 9x9x2 inches, building up 1/2-inch edges.

Bake 20 minutes.

Beat remaining ingredients until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Pour over hot crust.

Bake until no indentation remains when touched lightly in center, about 25 minutes.

Cool; cut into about 1 1/2-inch squares.
