lemon bars~

For the Crust

• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Filling

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 large eggs
• powdered sugar, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
2. Mix the flour, powdered sugar, and butter together until crumbs form. (Using a stand mixer may produce a soft dough.)
3. Press the crumbs/dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan going up the sides slightly, so the filling doesn't go under it. Bake 25 minutes.
4. While the crust is baking, pour the filling ingredients into the blender and pulse until light and foamy.
5. Pour onto the hot crust and bake for another 25-30 minutes. Remove and let cool completely. They will set up as they cool.
6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving
