LION HOUSE LEMON BARS

Crust:
1¼ cups butter
2¼ cups flour
½ cup powdered sugar

Filling:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
6 Tbsp. lemon juice
4 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. baking powder

CRUST: Preheat oven to 350º. Put butter in mixer bowl and beat until softened. Add flour and powdered sugar and mix on low speed until just combined. Spread dough evenly in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until the corners are light golden brown. Remove from oven and pour filling on top of crust.

FILLING: In a small mixing bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, lemon juice, flour, and baking powder with a wire whisk or on low speed of a mixer for just a few minutes. (It is important not to mix a lot of air into the filling.) Pour on top of partially baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar. Cut into small bars.
