Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan (even better is 8x11)

Step 3

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 5 Tbsps flour. Whisk in the eggs, lemon juice and zest. Pour over the baked crust.

Step 4

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
