Recipe Request: Lemon Bars

I repeatedly get requests for the lemon bars recipe, so here it is!

Crust
1/3 cup unsalted butter (I usually cut it into small pieces so it's easier to mix; do not melt it!)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

- Preheat oven to 350F
- Mix together all of the above ingredients with your hands. The final mixture should be crumbly (not smooth).
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 8x8x2 inch (approximately) dish (not greased) - this makes the crust so it should be pressed down so it is hard and smooth
- Bake for 15-18 minutes (the edges will just be turning golden)

Filling
2 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
2 teaspoons shredded lemon peel
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

- Combine all ingredients
- Beat with electric mixer until well-mixed (it will be a little thick)

Crust + Filling
- Pour filling over baked crust
- Bake for 20 minutes (it will have lightly browned edges & center will be set)
- Cool on cooling rack, cut into squares, and serve
