lemon bars

i made these yesterday with my friend hannah! we haven't made these in a while -- my sister use to always ask my mom to make them for her birthdays instead of cake. these bars are so good and always go really quickly in our house.

recipe
crust
2c flour
1/2c powdered sugar
1c salted butter, softened

filling
4eggs
4tbs. flour
6tbs. lemon juice
2c sugar
1tsp. baking powder

preheat oven to 350 degrees. combine the first set of ingredients in a mixer. press in the bottom of a 9x13'' pan. bake for 12-15minutes. while the crust is baking, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. pour over the hot crust and return to the oven for 20-30minutes. loosen the edges, sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut while warm.

this recipe comes from my mom. so gooey and the crust is just like shortbread, very flaky and buttery. one thing i would note here is the crust bakes for the time said (between 12-15minutes) but the second time around, take the bars out at exactly 20minutes! these are a definite keeper.
