  • Grease a loaf pan.
  • Stir together the 1 1/2 cups of flour with the 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Cut or"pull" butter into the bowl with a fork.
  • Blend with hands until mixture is soft and resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
  • If the dough does not completely spread, add more of the dough into the holes and press in.

  • In a smaller bowl, mix the two eggs with the cup of sugar.
  • Add the three tablespoons of flour, the 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and blend well.

  • Sprinkle the remaining dough atop the lemon gently.
  • Carefully place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the bars from the oven and spread dough on top around gently.
  • Replace in the oven for five to seven minutes and remove when bars are golden brown.
