Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup softened butter, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
Pour the filling mixture over the warm crust once it’s out of the oven.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
