Lemon Bars

Oven 350º

Crust:
1 1/4 cups butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Filling:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

To make crust: 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.

To make 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 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar. Cut into small bars.
