How To Make ~ luscious lemon squares ~

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. For the crust : In a food processor - mix together sugar and salt with the flour. Next pour in the melted butter and pulse just until crumbly. Spray a 9 x 13 metal cake pan or glass will work. Evenly press the crumbs firmly into the pan and bake for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs until well blended. Add Flour and sugar, whisk until combined. Stir in zest and lemon juice, combining well. Now, evenly pour the lemon mixture over the crust. Bake for 45 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool completely before cutting, to ensure complete set up of filling. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and enjoy!
