3 eggs
300g (10.5oz) white sugar

Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 80gs Confectioners’ sugar, and the butter.
Press the dough into the greased pan. Bake this for 20 minutes or until slightly golden in color.
While the crust is baking, combine the eggs, white sugar, flour, and lemon juice and whisk together until the mixture is frothy.
Remove baked crust from the oven and pour lemon mixture over the hot crust.
Put all back into the oven and bake for another 20 – 25 minutes, or until it’s a light golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle confectioners’ sugar over the top of the lemon bars.
