Lemon Bars

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour
1/3 cup ground pecans
a dash of salt

1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 T lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 T flour

Directions
Heat oven to 350, and grease an 8x8 in. pan.
Mix top ingredients together to form a dough, and press this evenly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove and cool (but its ok if it doesn't cool).

While crust is baking, steal a couple of nice lemons from a neighbor's lemon tree.
Combine sugar and eggs, add in zest, lemon juice and flour. Pour into baked crust and bake for another 20 minutes. Let cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and devour.
