WINNING LEMON BARS

This recipe does not have the work "winning" in it for nothing. These bars were gobbled up at my last party. The crust is so flaky and buttery. I kept mine in the oven until they were golden brown along the edges. If you wanted an easy Lemon Pie just cut the bars into large pieces and top with meringue. Very lemony and a lovely texture.

2 Sticks (8 0z) Butter
2 Cups Flour
1/2 cup Confectioners' Sugar
4 Beaten Eggs
2 cups Sugar
4 Tbsp Flour
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp finely grated Lemon Peel
Sifted Confectioners' Sugar for dusting

Heat oven to 325°. Blend butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar. Pat into ungreased 13x9x2-inch pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. For filling, blend together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, and lemon peel. Pour over first layer. Return to oven and bake at 325° for 20 minutes. Loosen around edges, cut into bars and sift confectioners' sugar over the top while warm.
