Cook Time: 45 min





Ingredients
Crust:
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
Pinch salt
2 sticks butter, at room temperature

Filling:
4 eggs
2 Cups granulated sugar
6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions:
Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 pan or 10 by 10 inch pan.
To make the crust, combining the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
While that is baking, make the filling. Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice. This mixture may separate if you let it sit so just mix it again right before you pour it. Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar when the bars are done.
