  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder (i use rumford without aluminum)
  • 5/8 cup lemon juice

Directions:

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups flour and confectioners' sugar until well-blended. (If the confectioner's sugar is lumpy, sift or push it through a strainer to get the lumps out.).
  3. Blend in the melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake this (shortbread crust) in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden.
  5. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the white sugar, baking powder and 1/4 cup of flour so there will be no flour lumps. Stir the sugar mixture into the eggs.
  7. Finally, stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the prepared crust and return to the oven.
  8. Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until bars are set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
