Lemon Square Bars

6/6/08 Adjustments:Maybe I whipped the eggs too long; the lemon custard was barely there.

Try cutting the crust in half, don't overbeat the eggs. Pretty tart.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light. Combine the sugar, baking powder and 1/4 cup of flour so there will be no flour lumps. Stir the sugar mixture into the eggs. Finally, stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the prepared crust and return to the oven.
4. Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until bars are set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
