This is a really easy recipe that my mom made before the lemon bar 'rage' was on! Thick-skinned lemons work the best. I suggest using real butter and eggs, I've tried using eggbeaters--nowhere near as good!
Ingredients
- ¼ cups all-purpose flour: 2 piece
- confectioners' sugar: 0.5 cup
- butter: 1 cup (softened)
- eggs: 4 piece

Beat together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice and lemon rind for at least 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the baked crust.
