Instructions (It is so easy):
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crust. Start with the Butter and Powdered Sugar, then add the Flour and Salt. Kneed it until it holds together. Press it out on a 9×9 inch baking form. (8×8 works well also.)
Bake the crust in the oven for about 25 minutes. Then, take it out to cool while you start to mix the filling.
The reason you should avoid mixing the filling ahead of time is because you are using eggs and citrus together.
As the crust cools down, mix all the ingredients for the filling together (add the Flour and Baking Powder last.)
Pour the filling over the crust and bake for another 20-23 minutes.
Once cooled down, cut it into bars of the desired size. For an extra festive touch, dust the bars with some powdered sugar before you enjoy them.
