Lemon Bars

I didn't think I could like lemon bars as much as I do, but this recipe is addictive. Delicious! I got this one from my fabulous neighbor Lesley.

Crust
1 1/4 cups butter
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 powdered sugar

Beat butter until soft. Add flour and sugar and mix until just combined. Spread dough evenly in a 9x13 pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and our filling over crust.

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

Mix all ingredients together with a whisk or on low speed for a couple minutes. Pour on top of crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow to cool slightly and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
