Ingredients

For Base:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Lemon Mix:

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup castor sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• Juice of 2 lemons

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

1. In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, flour and sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
2. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar and flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
3. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. After they have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares.
