Directions:

Bottom:
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. You can use a slightly smaller baking dish for a taller bar but I made it with 9x13 and it filled the pan adequately.

Mix together real good and bake for 20 minutes in 350 oven

Lemon Top:
Mix together and pour on baked crust. Bake 25 minutes in 350 oven

Garnish: Dust the cooled top with confectioners sugar. Not in original recipe but I know Grandma did this.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I made this recipe recently with the optional 2 egg yolks. The shortbread crust was amazing and the finished lemon bar reminded me of Grandma's.
