1 1/2 c sugar

4 eggs

pinch of salt

6 T lemon juice

Press the mixture into the prepared pan. You may need to dip your fingers into a little flour or confectioner’s sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers

Meanwhile, to make the filling, mix the eggs, granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons flour and lemon juice

Pour this over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer

Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, when the bars are done
