yields 24 bars
Ingredients
Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectionersā sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
Filling
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13 Ć 9 Ć 2-inch pan. Make the crust: Combine the flour, confectionersā sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. You may need to dip your fingers into a little flour or confectionersā sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Pour this over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle with confectionersā sugar, if desired, when the bars are done.
