Euro Pane's Lemon Squares

Crust
2 cups (8.5 ounces) flour
2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled butter, cubed
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a stand mixer
, or in a large bowl by hand, mix together the
flour, powdered sugar and butter until they come together to form a
dough.
Press the dough into a greased 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake
the crust until golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees to bake the bars.

Filling and final assembly

3 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups lemon juice (from 12 to 13 lemons)

Prepared crust
Powdered sugar for dusting

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and
flour. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake at 300 degrees
