Lemon Bars

I don't remember if this was my Grandma's recipe or if someone found it in a cookbook somewhere but this has been a fan favorite in my family for many years and they are pretty easy to make. The only problem is the recipe doesn't make a ton of bars.

Crust
1/2 C. butter
1/4 C. confectioner's sugar
1 C. flour

Filling
2 eggs
1 C. sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. flour
Rind of 1 lemon

Combine flour and sugar. Cut butter into mixture until fine crumbs form. Pat into a 9" or 8" square pan and back at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Beat eggs with sugar, lemon juice, flour and lemon rind. Pour over the crust and return to the oven for 20 minutes longer. remove from oven and sprinkle immediately with confectioner's sugar. Cut into squares.
