This recipe for Lemon Bars comes from Paula Deen.  They are delicious!

Lemon Bars

Crust:
2 c. flour
1 c. powdered sugar
Pinch salt
2 sticks butter, room temperature (Remember it's Paula Deen!)

Filling:
 4 eggs
2 c. sugar
6 T. flour
6 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
(I also added the zest of one lemon.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9- x 13-inch pan with non-sticking cooking spray.

Make the crust by combining the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a large bowl.  Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture.  Press the mixture into the pan.  Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice.  Pour this over the bake crust and bake for 25 minutes longer.  Chill. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.  Make 16 bars.

I had one as I was typing this, and Oh my Goodness!  It was so good!
