Citrus: Lemon Bars

Lemon Bars

Ingredients Crust:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup confectioner's sugar, plus more for dusting
• Pinch of Salt
• 2 sticks of butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing

Ingredients Filling:

• 4 eggs
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.

Make the crust by combining the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cutin the butter to make a crumblely mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. You may need to dip your fingers into a little flour or confectioners' sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the filling, mix the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Pour this over the baked crust for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, when the bars are done.
