½ cup butter, softened

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup white sugar

¼ tsp salt

4 eggs

1 ¼ cups white sugar

5 Tbsp all-purpose flour

3 lemons, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 1 ¼ cups flour and ¼ cup sugar. Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper and spread dough evenly in the bottom.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 ¼ cups sugar and 5 tablespoons flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.

Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool.

Step 5

Sift powdered sugar over the top and cut into squares.
