Mark's favorite

Ingredients

  • 2 c. flour
  • 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 c. butter, cold

Topping

  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 6 Tbls. fresh lemon juice
  • zest the rind of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 2 c. white sugar
  • 4 Tbls. all-purpose unbleached white flour

Instructions

Crust: Using a fork or pastry cutter, mix the flour, powdered sugar and butter until well blended. OR add flour and powdered sugar to a food processor. Cut the butter into chunks and pulse in until crumbly. Works slick and my preferred method!

Press crumb mixture into a 9 x 13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

While crust is baking, mix all of the above topping ingredients in a blender (or use a hand mixer); pour over crust. Reduce oven temp to 325 degrees and bake for 25 minutes.

Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into squares.
