Lemon Bars

CRUST

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

FILLING:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Additional confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 8" square pan. For crust: Stir flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in butter, oil and lemon zest until blended and crumbly. Press the dough in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Bake the crust until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.

For filling, in a small bowl, beat eggs. Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice and peel; beat until frothy. Pour over the crust. Bake 25 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars.
