Squares meet lemon

I have been making these for some time now. I cannot even remember where I got the recipe from...  The lemon taste with the crunchines of the crust is just pure yum. Ok, granted, it is not the best recipe for the those watching their cal intake

2 cups flour
½ cup powdered sugar
200gr softened butter
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt


1.      Preheat the oven to 350 F
2.      For the crust, combine the first three ingredients in a bowl. Mix together with a fork until you get fine crumbs. Press into a 9x13” pan and bake for 20 minutes.
3.      For the filling, combine the rest of the ingredients and beat well.
4.      Pour into the warm crust and bake an additional 20 minutes, until the top looks like the moon surface (you know, craters and all)
5.      Cool and cut into squares.
6.      If you want to you can dust with more powdered sugar.
