Steps

35 minutes baking time

1

Turn the oven to 180 degrees. First we will make the pastry crust. Beat the margarine or butter with an electric mixer or by hand.
2

Add 1/4 cup sugar and beat.
3

Add the 1 cup of flour and mix till the mixture is crumbly
4

Press the mixture into an ungreased 8”by 8” pan. I spread this up the sides of the pan. It works better with just having the mixture on the bottom. Bake for 15 minutes till just golden.
5

For the filling, in a small bowl combine the eggs, 3/4 cup sugar and 2 Tablespoons flour.
6

Grate the lemon rind to get the lemon peel and add this to the mixture.
7

Add the lemon juice and baking powder. Beat the mixture.
8

Pour filling over baked layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Done when edges are slightly brown and the center is set.
9

Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares and sprinkle icing sugar if desired. Enjoy!
