lemon bars

crust:
1 stick butter
1 cup flour (plus maybe 1 tbsp-ish depending on how the dough feels when mixed)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt

lemon filling
2/3 cup lemon juice (2.5 lemons)
zest from the juiced lemons
4 eggs
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp flour
1 1/4 cup sugar

(next time try 3/4 or 1 cup sugar and 2 lemons)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix crust ingredients together, spread into a 8x8 inch pan and bake until slightly golden ~2o mins.

Let crust cool slightly (5 mins) before adding topping. Mix topping ingredients together (mix lemon juice, zest flour and sugar and taste to see if tartness is correct, then add eggs). Bake 25 mins, let cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired
