2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 lemon
6 tablespoons lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
To make crust: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, 2 cups of the flour, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Scrape mixture into the pan and smooth. Bake 15 minutes.
