Luscious Lemon Bar Recipe

From Southern Living Magazine

Makes 30 Bars

I like an intense lemon flavor so my lips pucker. To get that I also stir in 1 tablespoon lemon peel and/0r 1/8 teaspoon lemon flavored oil.

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Powdered sugar

COMBINE 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
CUT butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. Firmly press mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan.
BAKE at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
WHISK eggs in a large bowl; whisk in 2 cups sugar and lemon juice. Combine remaining 1/4 cup flour and baking powder; whisk into egg mixture. Pour batter over crust.
BAKE at 350degrees F for 25 minutes or until set. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars, and sprinkle evenly with additional powdered sugar.
