Preheat the oven to 325 degrees; lightly grease a 9X13" baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, mix together until a dough forms and pat onto the bottom of the prepared pan:
12 TBLSP. soft butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-1/2 C. flour
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and prepare topping. Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees.
Topping:
In a mixing bowl, combine:
6 large eggs
3 cups sugar
Beat WELL. Slowly add:
3/4 C. freshly squeezed lemon juice (3-4 lemons) - you could use bottled lemon juice, but fresh is SO much tastier!
1/2 cup SIFTED flour
1 Tblsp. grated lemon zest
Pour the lemon mixture over the partially cooked crust. Sprinkle another 1 Tblsp. lemon zest over the top.
Bake in a 300 degree oven for approx. 25-30 minutes, or until it's 'set'. Gently jiggle the pan- make sure it isn't runny or wet-looking.
Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. When ready to serve, cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can leave these out at room temperature or keep them chilled in the 'fridge.
Everything looks so yummy!
