Lemon Squares

Ingredients - Crust

1/4 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1/2 c powdered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, melted


Directions - Crust

Mix together, press into bottom of 9x13 inch pan. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees, until crust just starts to brown. Take out of oven.


Ingredients - Filling

4 eggs, beaten
2 c sugar
4 Tbsp flour
6 Tbsp fresh lemon juice--it HAS to be fresh!!!

Directions - Filling

5 minutes before crust is done, mix these ingredients together, adding lemon juice after all others mixed together. Pour this mixture over hot crust, return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until slightly brown on top. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut around edges with still hot--right after sprinkling with powdered sugar. Cool well, or as long as you can wait, at least 15 minutes, longer is better but usually no one can wait longer. Cut into squares and enjoy!!
