Lemon Bars

Crust
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup confectioner's sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
  1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with PAM.
  2. Combine flour, confectioner's sugar, and butter. No electric mixer needed. Work with a fork as with pie crust. Pat dough into prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 24 minutes in the preheated oven until slightly golden. Do not over bake.
Filling
4 eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
6 to 8 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup lemon juice
  1. While the crust is baking, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice until frothy. No electric mixer needed. Pour lemon mixture over hot crust.
  2. Return to preheated oven for an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. 
  3. Before bars harden, cut sides from pan so edges do not stick.
Decoration
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar for decoration

Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar. Cut into squares.

Yield: 9×13 inch pan
