Lemon Squares by GaudyNight

Here is my family recipe for lemon squares. Use a 9" x 13" pan

Base:
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar.

Cut together, press in pan. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Topping:
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
Juice of 1 lemon (AT LEAST 1/4 cup, preferably more - the lemonier, the better AFAIC).

Beat together till foamy. Then beat hard for 8 minutes (at this point you go deaf from the noise of the mixer and die of boredom, but it's worth it).

Stir in: 2 tablespoons flour, 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

Pour Topping over Base (need not wait to cool). Bake 20 minutes at 350. When cool, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and cut into squares.

Enjoy. :)
