Lemon Squares

I found this recipe on the Web a couple of Christmases ago. Super-easy to make...one of the few recipes that needs no tweaking.

Makes about 12 

For the crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter

For the filling:
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

additional confectioners' sugar

Stir together flour and confectioners' sugar; cut in butter until mixture clings together. Pat into an ungreased 8-inch square pan; bake at 350 F. for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, beat eggs in mixing bowl; add granulated sugar and lemon juice and beat until thick and smooth, 8-10 minutes. Stir together flour and baking powder; add to egg mixture, blending until all ingredients are moistened. Pour egg mixture gently over baked crust layer. Bake at 350 F. for 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly. Sift additional confectioners' sugar over top. Cool completely; cut into 1-1/2-inch squares.
