Crust Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter, then add in the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix well. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Filling Ingredients:

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
6 T lemon juice, preferable fresh (which is 1/4 c + 2 T)

Beat eggs. Combine sugar and flour together, then add to the egg mixture. Mix well. Add lemon juice and mix again. Pour into slightly cooled crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before sprinkling with powdered sugar and then place in the refrigerator to chill. Delicious and simple! Fresh lemon juice really makes this recipe stand out.
