Preparation

Step 1

Spray 8 inch pan with Pam. Fit 8 X 16" heavy-duty foil across bottom and up the 2 sides as foil overhangs to pull bars from the pan. Spray foil with Pam.

Mix flour, salt and confectioners sugar in medium bowl; stir in butter to form soft dough. Press dough into pan( the bottom of measure cup dipped in flour helps). Bake 20 minutes or until pale golden.

While pastry bakes, whisk eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest in a medium bowl.

Remove pan from oven. Add lemon mixture and continue to bake until just set; about 20 minutes longer; let cool in pan few minutes; then using foil handles, pull bars from pan and set on wire rack. Cool until room temperature. Cut into squares.
