Lemon Squares

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar, divided
1/3 cup butter, softened**
2 beaten eggs
1/4-1/2 cup lemon juice (I prefer a little more than 1/3)
2 tsp grated lemon peel
powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stir 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup sugar together. Cut in 1/3 cup butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press mixture into greased 9in pan (or if you are like me and don't have one, a pie pan works fine). Bake 15 min or until light brown. Remove from oven. Stir together eggs, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon peels in a bowl. Pour over crust. Bake 15 min or until set. Cool in the pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (really, wait until it's cool, otherwise the sugar just soaks in looking like mine in the picture). Cut into squares.
