Love love love lemon bars. These are the same bars my mom used to whip up at a moment’s notice (sans the coconut), from the Joy of Cooking of course.
Preheat oven to 350°
Combine: 1 c. flour, ¼ c. powdered sugar, ½ c. melted butter; press mixture into a 8×8 greased baking pan and bake 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
Meanwhile combine: 1 c. sugar, ½ tsp. baking powder, 2 slightly beaten eggs, 2 Tbl. lemon juice, 2 tsp. lemon zest, ½ c. flaked coconut.
Pour these ingredients over baked warm crust and bake 25 minutes. Chill. Before serving, cut into 2-inch squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
