INGREDIENTS

• 1-1/2 Cups all purpose flour
• 2/3 Cup Confectioners Sugar
• 3/4 Cup Butter or Margarine. Soften

DIRECTION

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
2. Grease a 9×13 in baking pan
3. Combine flour, 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar and butter. Pat dough into prepared pan
4. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until slightly golden. While crust is baking, whisk together eggs, white sugar, flour and lemon juice until frothy. Pour lemon mixture over hot crust
5. Return to preheat oven for an additional 20-25 mins or until light golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar.
6. Cut into squares

NOTES From baking

1. I had a hard time getting them off the pan so I used parchment paper on the batch you see in the photo. I did grease the parchment paper with butter to make sure they have a nice brown bottom.
2. Make sure the lemon bars are completely cool before adding the confectioners’ sugar otherwise they will melt and you’ll lose the pretty white coat on the top.
