Yield: 16 servings

1/4 c Granulated sugar

      3 tb Butter or margarine;
           -- softened
      1 c  All-purpose flour
      3 lg Eggs
    3/4 c  Granulated sugar
      2 ts Grated lemon rind
    1/3 c  Fresh lemon juice
      3 tb All-purpose flour

1/2 ts Baking powder
1/8 ts Salt
2 ts Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350.
To prepare the crust, beat 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the butter or margarine at medium speed of a mixer until creamy. Lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Gradually add 1 cup flour to sugar mixture, beating at low speed until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gently press mixture into bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes; cool on a wire rack.
To prepare topping, beat eggs at medium speed until foamy. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar and next 5 ingredients (3/4 cup granulated sugar through salt), and beat until well-blended. Pour mixture over partially baked crust. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool on wire rack. Sift powdered sugar evenly over top. Yield: 16 servings

NOTES : Took about 2 lemons to get the full measure of juice, but with oodles of zest left over.
