RECIPE​

Ingredients
PRE-BAKE CRUST:

• 1/2 CUP BUTTER (ROOM TEMP)
  
• 1/4 CUP POWDERED SUGAR
  
• 1 CUP ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
  
• 1/2 TSP. VANILLA
  
• EXTRACT ZEST OF ONE LEMON
  
• 1 EGG
  

FILLING:

• 2 LARGE EGGS
  
• 1 CUP SUGAR
  
• JUICE OF TWO LEMONS
  
• ZEST OF ONE LEMON
  
• 2 TBSP. ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
  
• POWDERED SUGAR AND EXTRA LEMON FOR LATER

1. Cream crust ingredients together with mixer and spread into a brownie pan (square or rectangular) 7x11 or 9x9.
   
2. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Take out of the oven and set aside.
   
3. Mix the filling ingredients well. Make sure you mix the filling very well before adding it to the crust, because the sugar will settle to the bottom and it will not set up well so beat really well then pour over pre-baked crust.
   
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Let cool. Before serving, soften a lemon and poke a hole in the end with a skewer and sprinkle tops of bars with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.
