The best lemon bars you'll ever eat!

Okay, maybe that's pushing it, lol. But they're the best I've ever eaten. I got this recipe online and decided to make it Saturday in celebration of Spring finally arriving to the Miami Valley. Alas, they're calling for 30 degree temps overnight with the possibility of a flurry or two. Don't they know Thursday is May 1st? Didn't they get the memo???Sigh.

Crust:
1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened


Filling:
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 lemons, juiced

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, confectioners' sugar, and butter until butter is in very small crumbs. Press into the bottom of an 11x7 inch pan. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned.

In another bowl, whisk together the 1/12 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. When cool, dust with confectioner’s sugar.
