Steps:
- For crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan with foil, leaving overhang. Butter foil. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Add coconut and butter; process until mixture resembles fine meal and begins to clump together. Gather dough into ball. Press dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust until golden at edges, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare filling:
- Combine 3/4 cup sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon peel, flour, baking powder, and salt in processor. Blend filling until smooth.
- Remove crust from oven. Pour filling evenly over hot crust. Return to oven and bake until filling begins to brown at edges and is just set and springy to touch in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to rack; cool lemon bars completely.
- Using foil as aid, transfer lemon bars to work surface. Flatten foil edges. Cut into 16 bars. Sift powdered sugar over. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Store airtight in single layer in refrigerator.)
Tips:
- For a richer lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the crust.
- Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan so it doesn't crumble when you cut the bars.
- Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
- Serve the bars with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
