Lemon Bars

I don't make lemon bars that often (ok, never), as I've never really been a fan of them. But Dave asked if I'd make some... so I figured I'd give it a try. This recipe was the highest rated lemon bars on good ol' Allrecipes. It was delicious and definitely a keeper! And I'm now a huge fan of lemon bars :) (yes, it was that good!).

Crust
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

Lemon Topping
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 lemons, juiced and zested (you'll need 1/2 cup juice and about 2 tsp of zest)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs, lemon juice, and zest. Pour over the baked crust. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. The bars will firm up as they cool.
