Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Press the flour-butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan to form an even crust.

10 minutes

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

10 minutes

While the crust bakes, beat 2 eggs in a bowl until well combined. Stir in 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice until smooth.

Pour the lemon filling mixture evenly over the hot crust.

15 minutes

Bake for 15 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

15 minutes

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until fully set.

Cut into 16 squares (for 4 servings, cut into 4 larger pieces or serve as desired). Dust generously with confectioner's sugar before serving.
