Luscious Lemon Square

Betty Crocker newsletter has this recipe.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour - 1 cup
Butter - 1/2 cup, softened
Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup
Granulated sugar - 1 cup (This is too sweet for my taste, consider to reduce sugar next time)
Grated lemon peel - 2 tsp, use only the yellow part
Lemon juice - 2 TBSP
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Eggs - 2
Some powdered sugar for decoration

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Mix flour, butter and powdered sugar. Press in ungreased square pan, 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 inches, building up 1/2-inch edges. I used a 7x11" rectangular pan. A smaller pan would work better to make thicker squares.
3. Bake crust 20 minutes.
4. Beat granulated sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, baking powder, salt and eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Pour over hot crust.
5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched lightly in center.
6. Cool; dust with powdered sugar. Cut into about squares.
