In medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. I use a whisk. With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. When that gets frustrating, just keep pinching the butter and tossing to coat. Sprinkle dough evenly into bottom of pan. Level, brushing with your hand lightly, then pat dough firmly onto bottom. Bake 15-17 minutes until lightly browned. Meanwhile, in large mixer, beat eggs on high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 3-4 minutes. (Use whisk attachment.)Reduce speed to low, add lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, salt, and remaining 3 Tbl. flour. Beat (with paddle attachment), until blended, scraping sides and bottom of bowl occaisionally. Pour filling over warm crust. Bake 15 minutes, or until filling is just set and golden around the edges. Transfer pan to wire rack. Sift powdered sugar on top over warm filling. I use a LOT. (At least a 1/4 cup or more til well coated.) Cool completely in pan on wire rack. When cool, lift out holding on to foil, and transfer whole thing to a cutting board or surface. When cool, cut into bars. Makes 24-36 bars.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for these bars. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. The bars should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Chill the bars before serving. Chilling the bars for at least 30 minutes before serving will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Lemon love bars are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. The combination of tart lemon and sweet, buttery crust is irresistible. If you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert to make, these lemon love bars are the perfect choice.
