Ingredients:  
2 c all-purpose flour
⅓ c sugar
2 tbsp lemon zest about 2 lemons
¼ tsp salt
1 c unsalted butter room temperature, cut into pieces
6 large eggs
1 ¼ c granulated sugar

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350º. Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with foil with enough overhang on all sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Stir to combine. Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the flour and salt. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps. Stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the hot crust and bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Lift the bars out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into squares and dust with confectioner's sugar.
