The lemon bar

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, all-purpose flour, and powdered sugar until well combined.
