Lemon Bars
CRUST
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• TOPPING
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• confectioners' sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Combine the flour, butter and confectioners' sugar; pat into an 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, flour, lemon juice, extract, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until frothy; pour over crust.
3. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until light golden brown. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

I have made these a couple of times and they are really good. I have to readjust the temperature and baking time for my oven though to 350 degrees and about 10 min. Enjoy!
