Ingredients:

Crust
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 sticks butter (1 cup)

Filling
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Glaze

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Preparation:

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour, confectioners’ sugar and butter in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes or until crumbly.

STEP 2: Press the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake for 23-27 minutes… or until lightly brown. Leave the oven on at 350.

STEP 3: Place the eggs, flour, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl and stir until combined. Add lemon juice and stir until completely smooth.

STEP 4: Poor this mixture over the warm crust and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool completely.
