Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides of the pan, so that you can remove the bars later for easy cutting. Set pan aside.
• To make the crust, combine the flour, powdered sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and stir to combine completely.
• Crumble and distribute over the bottom of the pan and press evenly into the bottom so that it's even.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are just getting lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.
• To make the filling, combine the sugar and flour. Add the eggs, lemon juice and salt and whisk together to combine. Don't over mix.
• Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake for 18-22 minutes or until relatively set. Remove from the oven and cool for 15-20 minutes on the counter, then refrigerate until cold and firm.
• Remove bars from pan and dust with powdered sugar, then cut into squares. Bars are best when stored well covered, and they'll last for 5-6 days.

THE BEST LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, 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 and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
• Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.
