[lemon bars]

Based on the recipe of the same name by Paula Deen

Crust

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup powdered sugar

pinch of salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Filling

4 eggs

2 cups granulated sugar

6 Tbsp all-purpose flour

6 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 13x9x2-inch pan with Pam or Pam Baking Spray.  Make the crust: combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.  Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture.  (If you have a mixer, mix the butter in with the whisk attachment).  Press the mixture into the prepared pan.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Meanwhile, make the filling.  MIx the eggs, granulated sugar, flour and lemon juice.  Pour this over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, when the bars are done.
