  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons flour

  • powdered sugar, to top

Method

  • Mix the first 4 ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
  • Mix the next 4 ingredients, my mom always uses a little more lemon juice than is called for. Remove pan from oven and pour filling over the top.
  • Bake for 25 more minutes or until they start to brown at the edges.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar when they come out of the oven, cool.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
