Happy Happy Birthday Part 2

This month is my adorable husband's birthday. So, because I posted a recipe for a sweet treat for my birthday month, I figured I would do the same for him. He isn't as much of a chocolate fan as I am, he seems to be more of a lemon kind of guy, so I found this great recipe for Lemon Squares. I found it at the same site I found last month's. www.getpreparedworld.com

Lemon Squares Recipe
This recipe has been in the family for 100 years and is still frequently made by our families.
Crust:
* 1 cup margarine or butter
* 2 cups flour
* 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Mix and pat into a 9X13 inch pan. Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Filling:
* 4 eggs beaten well (or equivalent powdered eggs)
* 2 cups sugar
* 6 tablespoons lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 tablespoon flour
* pinch of salt
Beat these ingredients together and pour over the crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes until it has set.
This is very tasty and freezes well.
