Lemon Bars

now this recipe will make a ton of bars... it's for the big cookie sheets approx 11x17. and of course are extremely delicious because it's another of my mom's recipe's!! oh and this is being posted just for you amelia!

Crust:
3 cups flour
dash of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups(3 cubes) margarine/butter

Spread into bottom of cookie sheet evenly - i just use my hands, so make sure your hands are clean :) Bake at 350° for 15 minutes (don't let it cool for more than 2-3 mins before putting filling on it!!)

Filling:
1/2 cup flour
4 cups sugar
8 eggs - beaten
12 Tablespoons lemon juice

I try to have the filling completely done before the crust is done, that way I can leave the pan in the oven and just pour the filling onto it there (pull the rack out a bit of course!). it's usually way too full to try and move it after the filling is poured in, just so ya know!! ;) then you bake it again at 350° for another 25 minutes, or until it no longer looks jiggly!! set on top of cups or cooling rack, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. cool for an hour or so, then refrigerate. they taste much better when they are cold!!
