"I love this one in summer!!"
Ingredients
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine -- softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
To prepare the crust, beat 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the butter or
margarine at medium speed of a mixer until creamy. Lightly spoon 1 cup
flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Gradually add 1 cup
flour to sugar mixture, beating at low speed until mixture resembles fine
crumbs. Gently press mixture into bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; cool on a wire rack.
To prepare topping, beat eggs at medium speed until foamy. Add 3/4 cup
granulated sugar and next 5 ingredients (3/4 cup granulated sugar through
salt), and beat until well-blended.
Pour mixture over partially baked crust. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes
or until set. Cool on wire rack.
Sift powdered sugar evenly over top.
NOTES : Took about 2 lemons to get the full measure of juice, but with
oodles of zest left over.
