Lemon Squares

Tart and sweet, easy and delicious. I have also tasted them made with lime juice.

Base:
1 cup butter
2 cups flour
1/2 cup icing sugar

Mix ingredients until crumbly. Press into a 9x13 greased pan.
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes until light brown.

Filling:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
6 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Beat eggs, add sugar, lemon juice, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until well blended. Pour over warm base. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes. When cooled, sprinkle with icing sugar and cut into squares.
