Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Adjust rack to middle.
- For the first layer- mix butter, flour and powder sugar in mixing bowl, then pack in bottom on an 8 X 8 pan. Bake the crust for 15 minute.
- Meanwhile- mix beaten eggs, lemon juice and rind.
- In a seperate bowl, sift together sugar, flour, and baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture slowly to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly but not overmixing.
- Place lemon mixture onto baked crust and bake again at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
- For the frosting, mix all ingredients in a bowl and with a hand mixer, whip until smooth and creamy. This frosting is intended to be very thick. When i stick a spoon into the frosting and lift it up- it should be creamy, but not drip off at all -- So you may need to thicken by adding more powdered sugar.
- Remove bars from oven and cool pan on wire rack, when cool- GENTLY frost with the icing. The icing should be a little warm- if you make it right before- it's going to be the perfect temp from all that whipping.
- Refrigerate until served. Keep in fridge too- They taste amazing chilled- In fact, I have never NOT chilled them! (frosting does harden. Cut when removed from fridge.
