Glazed Lemon Squares (Ellen)


1 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter (best if made with real butter)

Combine four, sugar and salt in a bow.  Cute in the butter until it looks like coarse crumbs.  press into a greased 8 X 12 pan.  Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.  While baking mix the following together:

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
3 tbl. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbl. lemon juice

Pour over the baked layer.  Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes longer.  Set aside to cool.  When cool frost with the following:

3/4 cup powder sugar
1 1/2 tbl. melted butter
1 1/2 lemon juice

Mix together until smooth and frost.

*fresh or bottled lemon juice, either way works well.
