Really lemony, really easy and totally delicious!!! And again, not for those of you who watch your waist line J

Prep Time: 20 mins  baking time: 50 minutes  Yield: 8-12 bars

For Base

2  cups flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

150 g. butter (1 American sized stick of butter)

For filling/top

4  large beaten eggs

2 cups white sugar

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

fresh lemon rind from one lemon

Prepare a 30*25cm backing tin by lining it with baking paper (let some of it hang out so that you can pull out the lemon squares more easily).

Preheat oven to 175C

For the base mix the flour and sugar together. Work the butter into this mixture until it all sticks together (will resemble crumbs). Press into the  backing pan. Bake at 175C for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

For the filling, beat together the eggs, sugar and lemon juice. Add the flour and baking powder into egg mixture and pour over crust. Bake for another 25 minutes at 175C.

Cool and cut into bars.
