Lemon Bars

I whipped these up yesterday and they are so yummy! There is just something about Lemon...makes you feel like it is spring or summer outside! (Even if it is down pouring with rain!)
I got the recipe from Taste of Home's Baking Book on pg. 84

What I used:
1 C. all purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 C. confectioners sugar
Filling:
2 Eggs
1 C. sugar
2 TBS. all purpose flour
1/2 Tsp. baking powder
2 TBS. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
Additional confectioners sugar

1. In a bowl, combine your flour, butter and sugar. Pat into an ungreased 8" square baking dish. Bake at 350 for 20 min.
2. For filling, in a small bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar, flour baking powder, lemon juice and lemon extract; beat until frothy. Pour over crust. Bake 25 min. longer or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Dust with confectioners sugar and cut into bars.

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
