Lemon Bars

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 sticks (8 ounces) butter

* 2 cups flour

* 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 3 beaten eggs plus one yolk

* 2 cups sugar (use 1 1/2c if Meyer lemons)

* 4 tablespoons flour

* 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice*

* 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest*

* sifted confectioners' sugar

PREPARATION:

Heat oven to 325°. Blend butter, 2 cups flour and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and salt. Pat into ungreased 13x9x2-inch pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.

For filling, blend together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest

Pour over first layer. Return to oven and bake at 325° for 20 minutes.

Loosen around edges,and sift confectioners' sugar over the top while warm. Chill for at least 1 hour, then lightly dust them again with confectioners' sugar before slicing.
