Preparation
Step 1
Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with foil, extending foil over rim; spray foil with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and butter with pastry blender until well-blended. With floured hands, press mixture firmly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Filling:
In medium bowl, whisk sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt until blended. Add eggs, lemon peel, and lemon juice and whisk until blended.
Pour filling over hot crust. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack and cool completely.
Dust top lightly with confectioners' sugar. To serve, use the foil "handles" to lift out of pan. Place on cutting board and cut into 32 bars.
