MY MOM'S LEMON BARS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR MOM'S LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Mix crust ingredients together.
• Pat mixture into a 9x13-inch pan.
• Bake 20 minutes at 350°F.
• While crust is baking, combine these filling ingredients first: beaten eggs, sugar, and lemon juice.
• Gradually add flour and baking powder to the mixture.
• Mix well until "frothy".
• Immediately after taking crust out of oven, pour in filling.
• Bake 20-25 minutes at 350°F
• Tip: Watch filling at 20 minutes - it should turn a little brown spotted on top, but not a lot.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.

Steps:

• Process 2 cups flour, butter, and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; press into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the crust are golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool crust to room temperature.
• Beat white sugar, eggs, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, baking powder, and lemon zest together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy; pour onto the cooled crust.
• Bake in the oven until custard is set, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool lemon squares completely; dust the top with more confectioners' sugar.
