Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup White sugar
  • 1 cup Butter softened
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 ½ cups White sugar
  • ¼ cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Lemon juice

Instructions

Make the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • In a bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, ½ cup sugar, and softened butter until a crumbly dough forms. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake the crust for 15–20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.

Make the Filling:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 ½ cups sugar, ¼ cup flour, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.

Serve:

  • Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
