Lemon Bars
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup cold butter or margarine
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/3 lemon juice
1/2 tsp. lemon peel
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Additional confectioners' sugar
Combine 2 cups flour and confectioners' sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish and bake at 350 for 20 min. or until golden brown.
Whisk eggs, sugar, lemon juice and peel until frothy. Combine the baking powder and remaining 1/2 cup flour and whisk in egg mixture. Pour over hot crust and bake for 20-25 min or until light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and dust with additional confectioners' sugar when cool.
You can substitute lime juice and peel for the lemon if you want to.
This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
