Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour,  sifted
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, melted
½  tsp vanilla essence
4 eggs
1 ½ cups sugar

Preparation

1 In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups flour and confectioners' sugar. Blend in the melted butter and vanilla essence. 2 Press the soft dough with the palm of your hand into the bottom of the greased 9x13 inch pan. 3 Bake the dough in the preheated oven at 170˚C for 15 minutes, or until golden. 4 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs until light. 5 Combine the sugar, baking powder and ¼ cup of flour so there will be no flour lumps. 6 Stir the sugar mixture into the eggs. 7 Stir in the lemon juice and lemon rind. Pour over the prepared crust and return to the oven. 8 Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until bars are set. 9 Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
