Lemon Bars

CRUST: 3 c. flour 1 1/3 c. powdered sugar 1 1/2 c. butter, softened

FILLING: 6 eggs 1 3/4 c. granulated sugar 6 T. flour 1 c. lemon juice yellow food coloring, optional

Combine the crust ingredients and press into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 F. (180 C.) for 30 minutes until slightly golden brown and firm.

Whisk the filling ingredients until frothy. Pour over hot crust. Return to oven and bake 30 more minutes (same oven temperature), until light golden brown, firm, and cracks begin to appear.

Cool on a wire rack, dust liberally with powdered sugar, and cut into squares. They may need to be re-dusted if not served immediately.
