Lemon Pie Bars

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix 2 cups of flour and confectioner's sugar together. Cut in the butter or margarine. Mix well until the dough resembles pie dough consistency. Press the dough into a 9×13 inch baking pan.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Beat together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice and lemon rind for at least 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the baked crust.

Bake the bars another 20 minutes, or until the lemon topping has set. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar when cooled.
