Directions: |
Directions:Crust:
Sift together flour and sugar and place in a food processor.
Cut the margarine into small pieces and add to the mixture.
Process until the dough forms a ball. The dough can also be mixed by hand.
Press the dough into a 8" x 10" container. Spread evenly.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 350º or 325º if using a glass container which I prefer. The crust will not be brown only set.
Filling:
Beat eggs with an electric mixer and add sugar. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
Mix flour and baking powder and add to the egg/sugar mixture and stir by hand until well mixed.
Stir in lemon juice and rind.
Pour over cooked crust.
Return to a 350º/325º oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes until the filling is set. Don't overcook.
Place on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Sift powdered sugar over the cooled bars and cut into desired shape. Store in the refrigerator and serve chilled. Freezes well. |
