• Lemon Squares

  

  1 cup unsalted butter
  2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
  2 cups white sugar
  4 eggs
  1 lemon
  6 tablespoons lemon juice
  1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  

  Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.

  To make crust: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, 2
  cups of the flour, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Scrape
  mixture into the pan and smooth. Bake 15 minutes.

  In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Grate the rind of the
  lemon and add the rind, along with 6 tablespoons of lemon juice, to
  the egg mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour and the baking powder
  over the mixture. Pour the lemon mixture into the crust.

  Bake for another 35 minutes, until filling is set. Let cool before
  cutting.
